This session we captured 2 new birds. We banded an Ovenbird and a Red-bellied Woodpecker. I will post photos soon. I also have a few photos from some training sessions. To come........
I am very grateful to Marko for fixing our pole storage. It sounds like a small thing but anything that makes our job easier is wonderful. THANKS MARKO!!!
I would like to thank all the volunteers who worked this spring season. It is hard to show up week after week and only get a few birds at a time. We are glad the birds are up north and nesting! Something to look forward to in the fall.
Pete may be posting new slow motion video. The one of the Red-bellied Woodpecker is spectacular! Check out his links in last week's blog entry and scroll.
Next session will be in August! Stay tuned here and we will let you know!
If you are new to banding, read the About Bird Banding page. We have been banding Painted Buntings for five winter seasons (2013-2018) and banded at Possum Long in Stuart, FL since 2012. But life has changed for us. As of July, 2018 we are now based in Richland, WA and new projects are on the way. We are leaving old posts and pages in place as that information is still relevant and exciting. Let's see what we learn in this new chapter of banding.
