CAPTAIN SAM'S 

We banded 9 new birds and had 11 recaptures of 9 different species.  We banded two more Orange-crowned Warblers this morning bringing our total to 18 for the season (plus a couple of returns from previous seasons).  You might think that the following photos are of different individuals but, they are, in fact, of the same bird.  One photo taken in the shade and one taken in the sun.  This is a good illustration of how lighting conditions can affect the appearance of a bird.
