Hot and Humid = Not Many Birds

Well, not much to write about today.  It was painfully slow with only 4 new birds and 3 recaptures of 3 different species.  It was exceptionally warm with heat indices reaching 105 degrees.  The actually temperature never reached above 88 degrees during the time we were in the field but the humidity was brutal.
