[CT Birds] The week we wait for has come!

[Kathy Van Der Aue]

So far we have had a wonderful week at Birdcraft (Fairfield) with our 
banding.  After a very slow start with cold and rainy weather we finally 
have the first real waves of warblers.  Yesterday we processed 42 
individuals and today 77.  The 21 species were:  HOUSE WREN, BLACK AND WHITE 
WARBLER, BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER, AMERICAN REDSTART, WHITE-THROATED 
SPARROW, GRAY CATBIRD, MOURNING DOVE, SWAMP SPARROW, RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, 
NASHVILLE WARBLER, NORTHERN PARULA, BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER, COMMON 
YELLOWTHROAT, MAGNOLIA WARBLER, BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, YELLOW WARBLER, 
AMERICAN GOLDFINCH, OVENBIRD, WOOD THRUSH, BLUE JAY, WORM-EATING WARBLER.
