trying to catch up






The migration arrived with an explosion over the weekend  i am going to let a friends  post catch up on all of the migrants a good friend named Mark Milton who writes a weekly migration report so i will cut and paste that into my blog when it comes out tomorrow but i wanted to chronicle our banding. Life sometimes happen between banding days and i had to help arrange a tow truck for a bander friend  and I had some other stuff to do so here is the bare bones  banding report for the past 2 days  I think you will find the numbers of interest and  these numbers will reveal that the migration indeed has hit  the hilliardton marsh
