We began our banding morning watching three Red Foxes displaying alternate color phases (learn more here). Two bounced and tumbled with each other, appearing to joyfully play in the dewy morning fields. The third tried to unsuccessfully sneak into taller grass where a small flock of Sandhill Cranes was beginning their morning.
We were excited to capture a couple Varied Thrushes today: one male and one female, both hatch-years. Otherwise, the majority of our captures were Black-capped Chickadees. These spunky year round residents are 11 grams of muscle of perseverance.
