Captain Sam's
Things have slowed down even further
at Captain Sam’s with only 32 new birds and 13 recaptures today. The next few days will likely be similar to today
but a change is in the forecast for later this week. A cold front is heading our way and is due to
arrive on Thursday, which may mean we are in store for another busy weekend.

Little Bear
Today we were a little busier than yesterday with 94 birds total, 60 new and 34 recaptures and 17 species. It was a lot cooler today and there was more cloud cover which may have contributed to our higher count of birds. Gray Catbirds were still our number one catch with Common Yellowthroats close behind but our third highest catch was Yellow Warblers.
