8 June little on )66 67 B -- see shortcut of
their flight calls for positive i.d.
Another bird round included Common
Nighthawk -- uncommonly heard at evening.
All of the birds (crossbills) were
processed today with the exception of
the pair #19 & 420, who were kept
overnight.
The evening hours saw thunderstorms
all around, but I got a lucky break
by being in a sunny spot, until late
evening, when the storms closed-in. At
night, rain was on and off.
9 June The early morning dawn hours were
gray & dismal. At 5:30, it began to
snow heavily until there was about
3 inches of wet snow. Not much
bird activity, although I got the
net set up by 7:15 am. No crossbills
were heard. Other birds were not
active during the snowstorm, and the
ruby-crowned kinglets did not sing
until about 9:30 am.
No crossbills were captured today.
Only at two instances, one where
I thought a type 2 bird was around!
