CAPTAIN SAMS
It was another slow day of banding on "The Spit" with 4 new birds and 11 recaptures. The morning started out with a stiff northwest wind which continued for most of the morning.
Northwest winds continue for tomorrow but it shouldn't be as blustery with winds predicted to be around 8-10 mph. It will be chilly with the temperature dropping into the low 40's.
