Heading into May

Although the NEXRAD was pretty lit up over Florida, bird migration was near noticeable on the ground. Most migrants must have been soaring far over head. Instead, was began the day with a couple of Carolina Wrens.



Next, we recaptured our Brown Thrasher that was have caught 3 out of 4 weeks.



While male Northern Parula are calling and feeding chicks, we were surprised to capture a female just like last week.



Avery got to release the Northern Parula as his father, Augustine requests a photo.



The last bird of the day was Bird-of-the-Day, A female Black-and-White Warbler.



Just before closing up nets, Connie discovered a Black Racer gliding through the Virginia Creeper.



Three more Sundays to go before the Summer break. Time to round up some local juveniles.
