We were only able to open Captain Sam's for 40 minutes this morning before it started to rain. IN that time we only caught one bird - an after hatch-year female Yellow-rumped Warbler.

Little Bear
We were not able to stay open long this morning due a series
of popup showers coming off the ocean.
In the short period of time that we were open, we banded 2 new birds, a
Gray Catbird and Black-throated Green Warbler, and recaptured 1 Gray
Catbird. The Black-throated Green
Warbler banded today is the third one to be banded this season at Little Bear. The Gray Catbird recaptured today was from a
previous season and was originally banded on October 14, 2016. Overnight tonight and tomorrow, winds will be
coming from the Northwest which will hopefully bring a push of migrants our
way.
