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.
