Period 4 - June 6th 2024

The babies have landed. A lot of them, anyway.

We had a big day; 83 birds! Plenty of bird bag laundry for Jodi, which she loves.

We had an excellent opportunity today in the way of repetition, to test our abilities with Bushtits. We caught 26 of them. Butter knife or dagger?!
