Good Diversity But Still Low #'s

We had an interesting morning with 22 new birds and 5 recaptures of 14 different species.  We had several first-of-the-season's including Common Ground-Dove, Northern Parula, and Blue-winged Warbler.  The Blue-winged Warbler was the 2nd one ever banded at KIBS with the first one banded back in 2009.
