We welcomed a new member to the team today- Dan Errichetti. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. We had to close the nets after our first net run. Before the rain started we managed to catch 3 birds- 2 Common Yellowthroats and 1 Northern Waterthrush.

Little Bear:
Today was a dreary day, and due to the rain we shut down our station earlier. We did however, have a bright colorful bird that brightened up our morning! We captured our first of the season Baltimore Oriole! Baltimore Orioles are pretty cool species. They create a hanging nest! Their main diet consist of insects, berries and nectar. So, if you are wanting to attract these beautiful birds, you can put out a feeder! Below is a photo of this young!
