It was much slower today with 13 new birds and 12 recaps of 10 different species. The highlight of the day occurred during the 1st net run when the second Savannah Sparrow of the season was captured. I also captured a new Downy Woodpecker - the first one banded in over 2 months. We've only banded 7 Downy Woodpeckers so far this season and have sporadically recaptured the same 3 or 4 individuals.
