Sunday's Results

Bird activity was way down today.  We only banded 33 new birds and had 21 recaptures of 14 different species.  Gray Catbirds were still around in relatively high numbers (17 new, 13 recaps).  South winds are predicted for overnight, so I do not have high hopes for a good banding day tomorrow either.
