Kiawahwarblers Pt. 3

 Captain Sam's:

Despite the large rain storm we had into the night that moved North of us, we had a very specious day with 133 birds. The Northwest winds must have still pushed a fair amount of last nights migration towards us. There surely were many Bobolinks still migrating predawn that were identified by their "pink" calls. Four first of the season species ended up in our nets including Eastern Wood-Pewee, Magnolia Warbler and a Tennessee Warbler. We ended up with twelve warbler species overall, which was quite the bouquet and that was topped off with KIBS' second ever after hatch year, male Summer Tanager! A real stunner.

The next few days look especially promising. We are all very excited to see what end up in the nets!

Little Bear:

Today was such a great day! We had a total of 126 birds captured today with only 10 of those birds being recaptures. We ended the day by added 5 FOS from Little bear! The birds were, Marsh Wren, Orange-crowned Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Eastern Phoebe, and the best for last Blackburnian Warbler! We were not expecting high numbers today as the rain came in last night and would have put a stop to migration, but it seems that didn't stop them at all! I am still hoping to see those high numbers continue for the next few days!

Here are some of the birds from today!
