From Challenge to Success
We checked the weather and decided to do an impromptu banding session. The nets went up and the rain came down. So much for the forecast. We closed the nets and waited for the downpour to pass. The nets went up and dried and then we finally we broke the lack of captures.
Gray Catbird
Not the exact bird we captured but we did get a Gray Catbird. No picture as the camera was put away so it wouldn't get wet. This time the catbird was an adult. It will be fun to see if the juveniles migrate through and the adults claim the winter territory.
We heard a Northern Cardinal but it didn't find the net before more rain clouds came rushing in. We closed up but we have higher hopes for more captures in the next sessions.
