CAPTAIN SAMS
It was cold and breezy this morning and even though it did not get below freezing last night, a couple of nets had some frost on them when we were opening. Unfortunately, it was another very slow day with only 3 new birds and 20 recaptures.
Five of the 20 recaptures were Yellow-rumped Warblers from previous years: 2 that were banded in 2023, 2 in 2022, and 1 in 2020.
