Last Day of 2023

A very chilly start to the day but we got right to it.

As the Sun rose, the steam was coming off the river. The rains from the last big front washed our bridge away and we set more logs to get out to Net 21 again.

All of our birds were recaptures, including a Northern Cardnial and a Carolina Wren. Then we did get a recaptured Western Palm Warbler out by Net 21.

Our final bird of the day was a House Wren. Looking pretty but its band was covered in mud, making it difficult to read the numbers until we cleaned it off.

A new front is moving down this weekend but should clear by Sunday. Hoping things will trend upward from here until Spring.
