CAPTAIN SAMS
LITTLE BEAR
Today was a lot better than yesterday. We ended our day with a total of 54 birds with 45 newly banded birds and 9 recaptures. We finally added 2 new species for Little Bear for this season; a yellow-billed cuckoo and a prothonotary warbler. I have been waiting for a prothonotary warbler since Little Bear has been open but they have been either sneaky around our nets or just been avoiding the station until now. We finally got a bundle of common yellowthroats showing up in our nets, preparing us for the next big busy day we might be getting later this week! I am pretty excited to see what we will be catching next. I have been seeing our night heron friend hanging around our nets again, so maybe we catch a new one here soon or the one that was recently banded.
