We started off with a couple of Carolina Wrens. One new bird and one recapture.
A Green Heron has been hanging around the end of the lanes for a couple weeks and finally hit the nets. We don't band waders (our permit does not include them) so we release them unharmed back into the marsh.
Our only other bird of the day was a female Black-and-White Warbler.
Our new visitor, Michelle, got to release the warbler. Even though it was slow day for us, but it was a thrill for her to make contact with a couple of birds. It felt disapointing to us due the lack of birds, she was in awe of handling a live wild bird. Sometimes we forget how special it is to interact with Nature. She made us remember how this connection is so amazing.
Weather is wandering back and forth right now. Chilly to back to warmer Florida next weekend. Hoping for more catches.
