CAPTAIN SAMS
Today was a good day out at Captain Sams! We ended up with 80 new birds and 5 recaptures. Many of the familiar characters made an appearance, including red-eyed vireos, American redstarts, and (of course) common yellowthroats. We also got a couple of gray catbirds. We are not currently catching a lot of these birds but we will see them in mass come October. We also got 3 new species for Captain Sams this season, an indigo bunting, Swainson's thrush, and a magnolia warbler. It is nice to see some migrants coming through the station!
It is currently king tide, meaning it is pretty wet out at the station. The water reached up to the table this morning, leading to some wet feet. Regardless, we still had a productive and fun day. Tomorrow is looking like it will be a pretty good day and we are excited to see what birds we catch!
Special thanks to the Kiawah Island Naturalist Group for coming out! We hope you had a good time!
