Potter

Today it was too windy to run the nets so instead we set up some potter traps (the traps I used to catch those chickadees in Duluth) around our site, using bird seed as bait. We ended up catching around 13 birds, which was pretty good, but checking them every 15 minutes got tiring. We got a wrentit, a couple spotted towhees, a nuttall's white crowned sparrow, a few golden crowned sparrows, a couple song sparrows, a few fox sparrows.

Here are some bad pictures!
