It was a bit slower than I expected today, given all the noise I heard
when I was unloading the truck this morning at 06:15. Most interesting
capture was an apparent OLIVE-BACKED SWAINSON'S THRUSH. I also recaptured
a mess of SONG SPARROWS which, based on the data sheets, hadn't been
heard from since last April or earlier.
