CAPTAIN SAMS

LITTLE BEAR
Cloudy skies and windy conditions led to a much slower day at Little Bear. We caught a total of 29 birds, 17 of which were new and 12 of which were recaptures. One of our recaptures was the Swainson's warbler we originally banded yesterday, it is good to see that it is still in the area!
Little Bear got 4 new species for the season today, an American redstart, black-and-white warbler, ovenbird, and northern mockingbird. So far the station has caught 17 different species, pretty good for only being open for 2 days!
The tide has been rising over the past few days which has led to some pretty wet conditions at the station. Kristin and I were surprised to find that in some locations the water was up past our knees! We have seen plenty of green herons and a great egret. Hopefully we catch one of these guys soon!
