Thursday's Results

We banded 14 new birds with 7 recaptures of 7 different species.  The Prairie Warblers that have been so abundant were absent and have been replaced by Northern Waterthrush with 10 banded today.  We banded our first VEERY of season but the Bird-of-the-Day had to be the WORM-EATING WARBLER.  This is only the third ever fall banding record for the species at KIBS.
