Successful MAPS session

This late in the season I expect few birds in the nets. Today started out very humid and the heat rose to 95F in the shade. Unpleasant conditions for walking around outside. I ended the morning with 10 new captures and 2 recaptures. Excellent numbers for this banding station. One of the recaptures was a Wood Thrush that I banded in May. Representing the neotropicals I banded 3 white-eyed vireos, 2 great crested flycatchers and a second Wood Thrush.
