Selkirk
The day started off slow and it looked like slim pickens up to noon. However a mixed flock of birds obviously moved into the banding area as over 2/3 of the birds banded for the day were extracted while closing the nets.
Banded: DOWO 2, NRWS 1, BCCH 2, HOWR 1, AMRO 4, GRCA 1, CEDW 1, YWAR 7, SOSP 1, RWBL 1, BHCO 2, BAOR 5, AMGO 1 = 29.
The station will not be open Monday due to the weather, the need to get spring reports done plus sore hips and back. The station just does not need the down time experienced late last August and early September.
