We had some more great birds in the nets at the Jug Bay
Wetlands Sanctuary migration station today.

For the 2nd consecutive banding day we had a station first,
this time with Philadelphia Vireo.  Other goodies included
Grasshopper Sparrow, Tennessee Warbler and Rose-Breasted
Grosbeak.  The number of birds caught, not counting
recaptures was the highest so far this season, with
approximately 65 birds in 23 nets over a 3.5 hour period.

Also today I saw 7-8 Broadwinged Hawks in a kettle over
Mount Calvert, PG county - also visible from the other side
of the Pax river.

Oh, the joys of migration!
