All I see are Myrtles

 Captain Sam's:

Even though it was still a chilly morning, it was still a nice day for birds! We ended with a total of  70 birds with 23 of them being recaptures. Most of our newly banded birds, 47 total, 37 of them were Myrtle Warblers! It was really nice to see lots of birds even though the species diversity was not as high. I'm  hoping tomorrow we will get a chance to catch a few more great species before I leave. We have been hearing the robins hanging around the station and same as the goldfinches. I'm hoping one of the two will find the a net tomorrow.
