While some of the things we catch in the mist nets are unusual, some are expected. We have to open nets early enough to catch early-flying bats, and there are often still a few birds flying around at this time. And for some reason, birds do seem to fly a bit late at night.
Here are three birds that I caught recently while netting for bats. Only the yellowthroat was caught flying in the dark outside of the transitional twilight time.
And of some interest, most bat people really dislike catching birds, while most bird people dislike catching bats.

Female common yellowthroat. Hadn't expected this one as haven't heard them calling during the day.
Black and white warbler, even prettier than the photo
The male indigo bunting is one super awesome bird
