Long day

Yesterday Joe, Diana and I went to Pine Gulch, the offsite by the lagoon, and had a successful day of banding. We got 21 birds and 11 species, one of which was a swamp sparrow, something that's only caught around here about once a year. This was the last of the banding until Sunday, but luckily I'm here, so it can happen! Kidding, I'd rather be home.
