A nice day to be outside. A White-throated Sparrow was trying to sing before we put up the mist nets. Twenty bird species were captured at the station. It appears from our recaptures today, that a few hatching year birds are needing to bulk up before moving along. A surprise of a Sharp-shinned Hawk and a Red-naped Sapsucker were captured in nets this morning.
