[birdky] Clarks River NWR birds of interest

Mississippi Kites are being seen regularly at three different areas of the  
refuge.  
Little Blue Herons, Great Egrets and Great Blue Herons are foraging in  the 
wet fields. Two Louisiana Waterthrush and one American Redstart were  caught in 
a net during a bat survey in the Sharpe-Elva area.
At the (MAPS) station (Monitoring Avian Productivity and  Survivorship) we 
are into mid season with 4 sessions completed.   Capture are slightly lower 
this 
year.  Wood Thrush have been  obviously absent in the woods with one netted 
this season.  We have  processed 79 birds, 31 were recaptures from previous 
years.
I have also noted that Wood Thrush numbers seem down as I've paddled around  
Blood River.
