We banded 95 new birds and had 10 recaptures of 13 different species. It was a good day for Red-eyed Vireos, Gray Catbirds, and (of course) Common Yellowthroats. In fact, this is the most Red-eyed Vireos we have ever banded in one day during the five years KIBS have been in operation!
I am hoping for another good tomorrow as conditions should be similar to today.
I updated our "Banding Staff" page, so check it out to meet this season's banding crew.
