CAPTAIN SAMS
LITTLE BEAR
Today was another great day at Little Bear. A wonderful cloud cover made our day a lot cooler than what it has been since we started. We ended today with a total of 40 birds - 22 of them were newly banded. We added yet another new species to the list for this season, a tufted titmouse! I always enjoy having a few in the hand to look at. They make such a unique call that is quite pleasant to the ears, at least to me. This little bird was a hatch year but didn't bring along any of its siblings or family members.
We also had a fun bird hanging around our nets earlier in the morning, a young black-crowned night heron was lurking around our nets catching some frogs that have been residing at Little Bear. Our green heron is still hanging around as well. I am pretty excited to see what tomorrow will bring! This season has been going great so far with the painted buntings and they are still our top species each day.
Shown below are a few carolina chickadees and a tufted titmouse with molt limits. Read each image to learn more about them!
