Second Day Slow Down

 CAPTAIN SAMS

The lower humidity continued this morning, but we only captured 15 new birds and 11 recaptures of 10 different species. The migrants are trickling in with a traill's flycatcher and American redstart added to the species list today. We have heard redstarts over the last few days but this was the first capture. 

Traill's Flycatcher (hatch-year, unknown sex)
