An Unexpected Recapture Yesterday, on October 19th, among the very few birds captured, we got a Blue Jay with already a band. We checked our records, and sure enough, it was banded by us here at Cabot Head, on August 16th, 2007! Not …

Early Risers As usual, we opened nets half an hour before sunrise. These days, it means the late time of 7:15am, really no big deal compared to the 5 o’clock of June mornings. As we were coming back to the station on …

On the Quieter Side of Fall It seems that we are now on a calmer time, with most of the birds on the sunny side of migration. It has slowed down considerably these last few days, with now mostly Black-capped Chickadees being …

Soaring with Eagles! Bathed in the golden light of a seemingly endless Indian Summer, leaves are shimmering under an infinite blue sky. Another beautiful day at Cabot Head. In mid-morning, there suddenly were 3 big, black birds soaring over Middle Bluffs. The usual Bald …

Last of the Last (?) Yesterday (October 13), we got a Pine Warbler in our nets! It was a very striking young male, with yellow throat and breast. It was also very late, although as a short-distance migrant headed to the southern States, …

An Avalanche of Kinglets! For Thanksgiving, it was a family reunion of sort. Kinglets decided to have their own private party by gathering in droves at Cabot Head. It was mostly impressive on Sunday when an Estimated Total of more than 2,000 were …

How to Frustrate and Depress a Bird Bander! It is an astonishingly simple recipe. First, put an awesome and rare bird in a net; second, make sure not to have the proper band for it. That’s it! Easy as pie! So, this …

A New Visitor From the Far North Another gorgeous day at Cabot Head today: it is truly an indian summer, with warmth, sunshine, blue sky, and coloured leaves! Leaving colder climes, the first Fox Sparrow of the season was captured today. What …

A Flotilla of Mergansers! On Wingfield Basin this morning, there were 37 Common Mergansers swimming and fishing together. It was a neat sight, this tightly formed flotilla of feathers. They would all swim in the same direction, leaving sparkling wakes, and suddenly paddling …

The First, the Last, and the Odd! Today was incredibly sunny, with a deep blue sky, and moderate north wind. It was also relatively quiet at the nets while we were expecting more activity. Nonetheless, every day counts at a migration monitoring station. …
