Friday the 13th . . .

We banded 16 new birds and had 12 recaptures of 12 different species.  Today was pretty much a carbon copy of the last 5 days.   

A nice surprise was a Prothonotary Warbler in Net #21.  Net #21 is set way back in the woods and rarely catches much but when it does it us usually something good such as the Kentucky Warbler earlier this season.  I am hoping that KIBS first Connecticut Warbler finds that net this season!
