Sunday's Results: More Yellow-rumps . . .

Today we banded 53 new birds and had 13 recaptures of 10 different species.  We had a good diversity of species among recaptures including the Sharp-shinned Hawk that we banded on Thursday.  Another interesting recapture was a House Wren that was originally banded on 10/28/10!  We continue to see very good site fidelity among wintering migrants at KIBS especially among Yellow-rumped Warblers and House Wrens.
