CAPTAIN SAMS
Unfortunately, yesterday's bump in Yellow-rumped Warbler numbers did not continue into today as we only banded 16 of them. Overall, it was a pretty slow day with only 23 new birds and 10 recaptures of 8 different species. We had some more returning birds that were banded in previous seasons including a female Yellow-rumped Warbler that was banded in November of 2022.
We also enjoyed the company of several of the naturalists from The Barrier Island Environmental Education Program at St. Christopher Camp on Seabrook Island. I wish we had more birds to show them but they seemed happy to see everything that captured today.
