Overcast and breezy. ~30 F at 5am.
Trapper, Susan and I went out for an attempt at trapping in the park. We got set up and in the blind by 5:45 and waited until 8 for the birds to begin feeding. The first bird came in at 5:47 and we were able to get a shot off at about 8:10. There were about 15 birds on the bait; one of which was our satellite bird!! That was the first time we had seen him. Unfortunately, the net was aimed just a bit too high and we missed most of the birds. We caught 3, one of which was a recap from Spring Gulch.
We spotted a Ferruginous Hawk on the Kelly Rd right after trapping!
