I had a surprising flurry of activity today with 46 new birds and 19 recaptures of 10 different species. Most of the new birds banded this morning were Yellow-rumped Warblers (39 of 46) but the bird-of-the-day was a Clay-colored Sparrow. Little Bear has consistently banded one or two each year but this is the first one at Captain Sam's since 2012 when we banded 5 of them.
