I got a few hours of banding in this morning and captured 5 new birds and 12 recaptures of 8 different species. I recaptured the Prairie Warbler that I banded on Tuesday. When I caught him on Tuesday, he had a trace amount of fat in his furculum and weighed 7.4 grams. Today he did not have any fat and weighed 6.8 grams. The fact that he has not accumulated any fat and has not put on any weight may mean that he has reached his destination and will be sticking around with us this winter.
Happy Thanksgiving!
