Today was a nice chilled morning! We started out with a great run, but soon died off as the day progressed. We had a total of 51 newly banded birds and 15 recaptured birds. We banded 19 Yellow-rumped Warblers (Myrtle) with 14 of those being caught during the 1st net run in net #1. We also banded our first Hermit Thrush of the season.

Little Bear
We had an uneventful morning at Little Bear. Although the radar looked decent this morning, we didn't have a lot of success. We think many of the Yellow-rumped Warblers continued to move overhead after sunrise this morning, and we have some evidence of this due to flight calls and several visual sightings. Few ended up in our nets, and the wind quickly picked up to shut us down! We totaled 14 birds banded and 6 recaps of 9 species today.
