Captain Sam's:
Today was quite a slow day. It was definitely cooler today with the nice overcast. I got to see 2 White Pelicans fly up the river today, which is a first for me this season! I am hoping something cool will show up on these up coming slow days!
Here is a beautiful sunrise that we had at Captain Sam's today!

Little Bear:
To bang on the same old drum, It was another slow day. We averaged four to five captures per run, but at the end of the day we still only processed 32 birds covering 10 species. We were glad to have overcast conditions for the majority of the morning, but the wind steadily increased over the course of the session causing us to close early. We almost made it to noon though.
