CAPTAIN SAM'S

Continued northerly winds help to bring in new migrants to the banding station today with 32 new birds and 8 recaptures of 12 species.  The most common species banded today was Northern Waterthrush. Large tides over the last few days has deposited standing water into many of the net lanes which creates a situation that waterthrushes like.   

Our north winds have shifted to east which should slow migration in our area for tomorrow.  Rain is also predicted for the morning which means there is a chance we might all get a much needed day off.

LITTLE BEAR





It was a windy morning at Little Bear, which likely contributed to it being a fairly slow day. The nets drifting to and fro in the wind makes it easier for birds to see and avoid them, but some Common Yellowthroats and Painted Buntings were still inattentive enough to end up at the banding station. We also caught a male Downy Woodpecker, which livened things up for a while, but I was too inattentive myself to snap pictures to share here.
