CAPTAIN SAMS
We only banded 23 new birds today and had 13 recaptures of 9 species. Bird activity was low throughout the morning and it looks like that it might continue like this for the next few days until the next cold front. The winds do shift around to the north tonight briefly but only time will tell if that is enough to bring in any new birds for the morning.
