Comments on: Little to no migration last night http://badbirdz2.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/little-to-no-migration-last-night/ Keeping Noel's dream alive, one migrant at a time Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:55:22 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Michelle Davis http://badbirdz2.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/little-to-no-migration-last-night/#comment-543 Michelle Davis Mon, 06 Oct 2008 12:25:50 +0000 http://badbirdz2.wordpress.com/?p=430#comment-543 Some residue at Cape Florida today. 51 birds banded, with SWTH, BAWW and BTBW making up the majority. A male GWWA was seen but not mistnetted. Some birds from the day before managed to slip out last night despite the rainfall, as we caught no GCTH but had 3 yesterday out of only 18 birds banded due to the persistent rain. Yesterday (Oct 4) would've been good at Cape Florida if we had been able to keep the nets open. Interesting stuff around: all the thrushes, plus WEVI and REVI, and God knows what warblers.
