We got a couple hours of banding in this morning before the rain started. It was quite windy as well so we were only able to open 15 of the 28 nets. We banded 7 new birds and had 4 recaptures of 7 different species. It rained all day long but we are expecting some better weather for tomorrow. The banding site should now have lot of standing water out there which will be really good for breeding more mosquitoes. They have not been bad so far this season at Captain Sam's but in 8-10 days that might change.
