Captain Sam's
It was a slow day at Captain Sam's. A surprise downpour caused us to close all nets for a while and the threat of more showers and wind had us closing early for the day. We ended up with just a handful of birds: 4 new and 5 recaptures.

Little Bear
Wind and random popup showers did not
make for an ideal day of banding at Little Bear. Working around the wind and the rain, we
managed to catch 13 new birds and 4 recaptures.
These less than ideal conditions were brought on by the leading edge of
the first cold front of the season. As
the current forecast stands, it looks like we should see our first big push of
migrants on either Thursday or Friday.
