A rain shower working its way up the coast delayed our opening of the nets by about an hour this morning.  Bird activity was slow all day with only 12 new birds and 4 recaptures of 4 different species.  Barn Swallow migration appears to be in full swing as what seemed like hundreds of individuals passed over KIBS along the river and over the dunes.
