Rain Day

Captain Sam's:
We battled the elements today at Captain Sam's and ended our day with 11 new birds banded and 4 recaps of 6 species. We opened nets almost two hours late due to rain and dealt with on-and-off showers and high winds throughout the day. A flock of Tree Swallows stopped by but failed to make its way into the nets. We were hoping they would be our 100th species of the year, but maybe tomorrow!


Little Bear:

Due to the rain, followed by high winds, we decided to not open at Little Bear today. Tomorrow is looking much more promising to catch some more birds!
