Extremely Slow Day

It was extremely slow this morning with only 7 new birds and 2 recaptures of 4 different species.  Due to increasingly windy conditions (and the lack of bird life) we closed nets down early.    Conditions were favorable locally for migration last night but there were no birds to replace them this morning.
