We had another successful morning banding today and it looks like passerine 
fall migration is warming up!! We banded a female Magnolia Warbler this 
morning. In addition, we banded an Ovenbird in full molt--head covered with 
pin feathers [with exception of two or three orange crown feathers] and 
wings with four primaries in various states of regrowth.  The Catbirds 
appear to be flocking in the underbrush--I'm starting to think that they 
are as numerous as the young Starlings now massing in the fields; just not 
as easily seen.  We are getting 6 or 8 in one net at a time, nearly all 
hatch year birds. In the past two banding sessions we have captured a total 
of 50 or 51 Catbirds!  We also banded two Trail's Flycatchers, both after 
hatch-year, and had no recaptures which might signify they are also moving.
Cheers
Dave
