I think it is safe to say that I have marked a significant proportion of the current population of birds at the Captain Sam's site. During the first 3 hours of banding this morning, 13 out of the 14 birds captured were recaptures. A handful of new birds trickled in throughout the rest of the morning giving a total of 6 new birds and 14 recaptures of 6 different species for the day.
Only two more days left of the 2015 fall migration season...
