Happy WITU Day!

CAPTAIN SAMS
It was very slow this morning despite what seemed like favorable conditions for migration last night.  Most of the bird movement was well to our west and not along the coast.  We did recapture the Yellow-breasted Chat that we banded a week or so ago for the second time.  Hopefully the bird will stick around for the winter and I can stake it out for the Sea Islands Christmas Bird Count on 3 January 2020.

Happy Thanksgiving!
