Captain Sam's
With a total of 41 new birds, the majority of the day was made up of skunked net runs with an occasional small surges of Yellow-rumped Warblers and Gray Catbirds. Due to low numbers we sampled for 5 hours, and were finished by esrly afternoon.

The overnight radar along the Atlantic coast was fairly active for this time of the season last night but we were met with disappointment at the station with only 47 new birds being banded this morning.  Today was also our biggest recapture day with 27, most of which being Gray Catbirds.  Gray Catbirds and Yellow-rumped Warblers were tied for the most numerous banded species.  It’s only a matter of time before Yellow-rumped Warblers begin showing up in large flocks and easily take over for the number one spot.
