It was a pretty good morning out at Captain Sam's with 16 new birds and 18 recaptures of 7 species. It stayed calm and overcast for most of the morning, which helped with bird activity, but the sun eventually came out and wind picked up, decreasing captures tremendously. We continue to catch many Yellow-rumped Warblers banded in previous seasons as well, adding another 4 today.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
