FOS Summer Tanager

Well...we caught 100% more birds today than yesterday!  The downside is that we still only captured 14 birds.  We had some migrants, a first-of-the-season Summer Tanager, and what felt like lower humidity which made it a more enjoyable day to be at KIBS.

The following Painted Bunting was originally banded on 09/18/13 as a hatch-year.  At the time he was a green bird and we were unable to determine his gender.
