Dear Ruth and SBB,

Banding data from CCFS show that typically birds leave about 1 
May.  However, in any year, a few birds may linger.  Some late dates: 11 
May 1986 (recap), 6 May 1987 (recap), 2 May 1988 (recap), 22 Jun 1992 (4 
birds banded after 1 May), 4 May 1993 (recap), 11 May 1994, 8 May 1995 
(recap), and 8 May 1996 (recap).  Any bird seen after 1 May in the county 
is of interest.  In a few years we've seen injured birds at later dates and 
they have oversummered.  But as far as I know, none of the CCFS birds 
mentioned above were injured or recaptured after the dates noted.

Bill
