Friday's Results

We had another good day of banding with 87 new birds and 6 recaptures of 15 different species.  Winds are expected to shift to the south sometime today or tonight, so tomorrow will probably be much slower.  However, another cold front is scheduled to arrive early Sunday morning which means Sunday and Monday may be great banding days.
