Captain Sam's 
The catch was a bit better at Captain Sam’s today with 54 new birds and 29 recaptures, comprised of 13 species.  Yellow-rumped Warblers, as they always do this time of year, made up a majority of catch with 40 new and 10 recaptures.  The highlight of our day was the first-of-the-season Sharp-shinned Hawk.  Today was also the first day since September 1st that not a single Common Yellowthroat was banded.  Our next major cold front is set to move through in about week, which means we will likely see similar capture rates over the next few days. 
 

Little Bear

Little Bear was recapture central today making up over 30% of our captures. Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warblers stayed barely ahead of catbirds with only 4 more total. We were quite excited to get three Common Ground-Doves. They're always a joy to have.
