Wrapping Up the Session

We finished up one week early this year. Nothing but locals and a surprise capture. Photos are on the way when I have time to get through them. Work is crazy busy since everyone has come out of their caves with the new mask updates!

Stay tuned for that, but in the meantime, a huge thanks to everyone who helped out this past trying Session. Weather and pandemic made it very odd. We did the best we could and banded some interesting birds and met a lot of new friends along the way.

I hope everyone has a great Summer and we will post about getting ready for the next Session soon. I am putting off August after reviewing data from the past few years and seeing we only capture a single migrant and possible new bird. Lots of bugs and baby locals. Doesn't seem too productive these days of changing climate heating. September should be more fun.

Plus: Sleep.
