CAPTAIN SAMS
Today was still a slower day with our busiest part of the day being the first 2 runs in the morning. We luckily had a flock of Myrtle Warblers (Yellow-rumped Warblers) find our nets. We ended the day with a total of 46 birds and only 8 of them were recaptures. We did add a new species for Little Bear, a White-crowned Sparrow. I was hoping for one of them to show up in our nets soon.
Anther species that was a fun catch is a Hooded Warbler that showed up in our nets. This is a late catch that was not expected at our station. They typically are captured during our first month and maybe halfway through October but this late. I know there are some birds that manage to migrate late but it sure is fun to find one in our nets.
