Captain Sams:
Captain Sam's has remained steady with a slow influx of new birds and plenty of recaptured ones. An exciting new bird for the season was a Swainson's Warbler, which was not caught at this sight last year. Some usual favorites included hatch year and adult White-eyed Vireos, a Downy Woodpecker, and a Carolina Chickadee.
Note: All banding, marking, and sampling is being conducted under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey’s BBL
