I thought I had already posted this, but I guess I exited it and didn't save it as a draft woops! Today was pretty interesting, with no captures our first round, but a surge of captures in our second round. A pleasant surprise was a hatch-year Sharp-shinned Hawk, and all of our visitors got to get a great look at the bird. We also captured our second Ovenbird of the season! Today we had 42 captures, bringing our number up to 382 birds for the season. It was extremely hot so we had to close early due to temperature. Thank you to all the birders that came out today! And thank you to Kara for being an awesome volunteer.
