Took a while for this one


So finally, we caught a Nashville Warbler. A species that is "usually" annual, we missed catching one last year, and since it was already Nov. this year and we had not caught one, I thought we had missed them again this year. Well, as luck would have it, we didn't blank on Nashville's this year. We caught this one on the 3 Nov. a bit later than we normally catch them, but we'll take it.
Since 1994, the station has been averaging a bit more then 6.5 per season. So not a high total, but usually present. Since that time, the only year where one was not caught was last year (2007). The high was 13 banded in 1999.
