CAPTAIN SAMS
It was a pleasantly slow day at Captain Sam's with 78 birds, 50 of which were recaps! We captured the expected species like Grey Catbirds and Common Yellowthroats but also enjoyed the presence of a hatch year female Pine Warbler, the third we've caught this season!
A small cold front arrived in the middle of the night last night and we are all enjoying the cooler weather. We are hoping this front will bring us a push of Yellow-rumped Warblers tomorrow!

LITTLE BEAR
We banded 36 birds today and had 33 recaptures, for a total of 69 birds from 19 species. We had two first of season species for Little Bear: a Black-throated Green Warbler and a White-crowned Sparrow. We also enjoyed another new Bay-breasted Warbler today! All three of these birds were the first of their species that I have ever banded!
