Last Day of 2017 Fall Migration Banding Season

CAPTAIN SAM'S

Today was the last day of the 2017 fall migration banding season.  It was a slow one with 8 new birds and 13 recaptures of 9 different species.  The excitement came in the first net run when I got an American Robin out of net 26.  This is a species that I had pretty much written off for this season, but... we finally got one.  We usually band a few robins each season at Captain Sam's but they have escaped capture before today.  

American Robin (Hatch-year, female)

I will be working on pulling together a preliminary summary of the season over the next couple of days, so stayed tuned.
