More Like It, but Still a Bit Slow

No bear damage this week, but the humidity was pretty oppresive. However, we can see Fall right around the corner which slightly cooler temperatures.

Common Yellowthroats were out again this week. We ended up with 6 of them throughout the morning.

We recaptured one of our female Northern Cardinals in between.

All of the Common Yellowthroats today were juvenile males.

We also recaptured a Carolina Wren.

A couple weeks later than expected, we finally caught our first Veery.

We ended the day just like last week with an Acadian Flycatcher. It was captured in the same net as the one last week. There must be plenty of their preferred food right around Net 15.

Looking forward to hopefully higher captures next week.
