There are 111 new nests + 6 nests from last year that have been repaired. Nearly all the new nests are in section 2, that had only 3 nests from last year. The nests constructed this year are shown on the chart (page 3) with black numbers circled in red.
Tonight I returned & banded as many as I could catch. There was just about 1/4 of a moon shining, but it was enough to give trouble. The birds could see too well, & many escaped that should have been banded. Those that we returns were:
44-54393 - 3-38
44-54400 - 3-51
The only repeat was: 49-25533 - 3-48
