Captain Sam's was rather uneventful today, catching 4 new birds and 4 recaptures of 5 species. Since it was slow, we spent some time mending nets with holes. The temperature rose quick and there was no breeze, so we closed a little early. We are definitely ready for migration to kick into gear and bring us more birds!

Little Bear
Today we had better luck than Captain Sam's with 12 new birds of 8 species, and 4 recaptures of 3 species. Our first of season was a gorgeous male Yellow-throated Warbler, we only catch a couple each year so it was a real treat to see such a beautiful bird in hand.
