It was a slow one out there today. Only 10 new birds were banded but we did have 24 recaptures including several "returns." Returns are birds that were banded on site but in a previous year/season. Returns are important as they can help us learn about longevity and survivorship. Here ares some of the returns that we had today:
1. Yellow-rumped Warbler: 11/24/2017 as an AHY (after-hatch year)
2. Hermit Thrush: 11/29/2014 as a HY (hatch-year)
3. Gray Catbird: 10/16/2011 as a HY.
4. Yellow-rumped Warbler: 11/25/2018 as a HY.
5. Yellow-rumped Warbler: 11/07/2013 as a HY.
6. Yellow-rumped Warbler: 11/4/2015 as a HY.
7. Yellow-rumped Warbler: 11/25/2018 as an AHY.
8. White-throated Sparrow: 11/8/2017 as an AHY.
