Lagunitas Creek


Yesterday Cara and I banded at Lagunitas Creek for the first time and it was awesome! So far it is my favorite location to band at. We woke up at 4 AM and got there at 5:15, prepared for a very hectic morning at a new banding site. It was the smoothest set up yet! In fact, the entire day went very well. We heard and saw some new birds, including a Black-headed Grosbeak. It's an absolutely gorgeous location with tons of interesting critters!

Weighing the birds is one of my favorite parts of the process! It cracks me up sticking them in a little cup upside down.

Birding and enjoying my work!
