First day of spring 2019 banding!


We had a great start to our spring 2019 season! It's not uncommon for capture rates to be low this time of year; in 2018, six days passed without any captures. Today broke the 'norm' with a total of eight birds captured! A male Common Redpoll was our first bird of the season! We've already surpassed the total number of redpolls captured last year (two!). No migrants were captured or detected, yet.
