October 3rd 2014

Today was another slow day at the banding station. The temperature was again up and the winds were coming in from the south west with the cloud cover increasing as the day went on. There was a limited bird migration during the night due to unfavorable winds fom the south west. We also had another bobcat sighting today between nets two and fourteen which, is very close to the banding station.
