We had a great day today at Captain Sam's! We had a total of 76 birds, including 4 first of season species! Yellow-breasted Chat, Northern Parula, Black-throated Blue Warbler, and Swainson's Warbler. The Swainson's Warbler was especially exciting because it is a rare visitor to the banding station!

Little Bear:
Today was a great day! We had some wonderful movement on the radar making today a great day to band birds. If you are curious on watching bird migration or wanting to see if birds are moving around in your area, check out Bird Cast. This map shows how birds move overnight and during the day.
We did not have a huge amount of birds during the day but we did catch some new species for Little Bear. I posted some pictures below of some species that were captured today!
