We had another decent day of banding out on the spit with 49 new birds and 19 recaptures of 10 different species. Three-quarters of what we captured today were Yellow-rumped Warblers with many of them coming during the 2nd net run. Large numbers of Yellow-rumps were moving along the dunes around 7:30am, and as a result net #28 had 18 of them in it when I walked up to it. The flock appeared to continue down the dunes and leave the spit as we did not see large numbers of them the rest of the day.
