No Banding October 13th...or Ever?

Milton did a number on the banding site. Will post photos later. Many trees are blockng the lanes and it may take weeks for things to be put back in order.

No banding this Sunday or into the foreseeable future. Rangers will be required to clear lanes but the park is surely flooded and they will have things to clear on their side first.

Disappointed to miss a lot of this season. Is what it is.

Feels sad to hear a lot of migrating birds as I walk the swamped site knowing we could be catching birds and doing citizen science. Nothing we can do. Just keeping us safe for the time being.

No Banding October 6th. Storms Before the Hurricane.

Weather patterns are very unstable and could bring rain as early as dawn and through the day. Humidity is still very high and migrants do not seem to be in the area much.

No banding this Sunday.

Be very prepared for a possible major hurricane mid-week. Major is Cat 3 and beyond coming through Tampa to Orlando as of tonight's report.

Depending on the damage, we could be out of commition for a bit. Stay tuned and stay safe!
