This new storm cycle coming in this week may have some good potential for
some migrants. We had our first and only Cassin’s Vireo for the season
today. Our fair share of Gambel’s White-crowned Sparrow came through the
station as well. Some of which had decent fat stored up. Closing out the
season, we captured a hatch year Brown Creeper. This marks only the 2nd
time this species had been captures at this location since 2008. The CAVI
and BRCR brought out season total up to 29 species across 201 captured
birds.
