Recap party

Today turned out to be a majority recapture day, with 9 recaps of 9 species comparing to only 6 new birds of 4 species. The birds are once again waiting for a weather window for a good passage to the Antilles and Central America. Perhaps they even sense the low pressure in the Caribbean, and know not to leave right now.
