CNC Sat. 6/25
After getting rained out on both Thursday and Friday at Chippewa, we got to open the nets on Saturday. Unfortunately, though sunny, it was a very windy day, which is never ideal for banding. We had a total of five individuals of four species, of which three were new and two were recaptures.

The following Tuesday at the bog was a little better but still slow for late June. We had a total of eight individuals of six species, of which four were new birds and four were recaptures. We did, finally, get a Veery and successfully deploy a transmitter on her. It's late in the season but we'll take what we can get!

Back at the bog on Tuesday was the best day so far with 12 individuals of eight species, of which eight were new, three were recaptures and one was unbanded (a bluejay that got out of the net before I could grab it). We also got the remainder of the transmitters placed on the three Veery we captured. Since we captured a juvenile Black-capped Chickadee and Wood Thrush I suspect most of the Veery have already fledged their young or will in the next few days. So, we may not get a lot of useful data from these individuals but we may be surprised.
