CAPTAIN SAM'S

Today started out extremely foggy and wet with little wind.  The nets were drenched and difficult to open, and it took them a couple of net rounds before they dried out.  

We banded 36 new birds and had 14 recaptures of 11 different species.   It was a typical late November day with typical late November birds.  Ever species we captured today could be considered a "winter resident" although some of them are probably still migrating south.
