703 is officially our first on site recapture, originally banded as an adult in 22 and now back for another round!

All banding/handling is conducted with appropriate state and USGS permits.

Shot in the dark: does anyone know where I can get ahold of SoftMax Pro 5 for Molecular Devices plate readers? I inherited a working plate reader w/o software and the last legacy version for this reader was sunsetted last year. M-D refuses to provide a copy.
