Captain Sams:
Hello! This is Wentao and I am a banding assistant for the KIBS Banding Crew this year. It was quite warm today, and there was barely any wind. All of us were quite sweaty and we ended up capturing 17 birds in total, of which 9 were recaptures. Nevertheless, we managed to get a new species for the station this year: Worm-eating Warbler! What an exciting migrant to hold in hand.
As it was a slowish day, we had time to learn some net repairing, and everyone spend some time practicing on that.
