My sister from Illinois kept me company around the banding station on this Thanksgiving Day. Unfortunately, it was another slow day with only 8 new birds and 11 recaptures of 4 different species. The wind was slightly less than yesterday but still strong enough to keep some nets closed. The highlight today was an American Robin - only the 3rd was banded this fall.
