Our morning started with a slow rainy drizzle but bloomed into a sunny and warm day. We didn't run nearly as many nets today, but kept busy with small family groups of Hammond's Flycatchers, Yellow Warblers, and Black-capped Chickadees. It's not often that Black-capped Chickadees are our most frequent capture, and if you've ever extracted a chickadee you might instantly know what a feat this is. These plucky 10 gram birds are strong and wily dare-devils with what some suggest as a thirst for cuticles!
