We weren't sure how the day would turn out due storms north of us yesterday that seemed to have prevented migrating birds from reaching us, but we ended up having a fairly successful day regardless. We nearly broke 100 birds for the day with 94 birds total (85 new, 9 recaps). Our highest frequency species was a tie today between Gray Catbirds and Common Yellowthroats, with 32 new individuals banded of each species. My favorite bird of the day was a hatch-year female Summer Tanager. Joanne was excited to band this bird since she is from Ontario, Canada and had never seen one of them in the hand! She took the photo below.

It was a great start this morning! We had a total of 81 new birds and 8 recaptures. We had a new bird of the season Swainson's Thrush today!
We had a large amount of Gray Catbirds throughout the day, which totaled out to 42 birds. Even though it was busy, we did not have a huge variety of species today but hopefully tomorrow will be better!
