On this very cold, gray, almost but not quite rainy, birdy Saturday, we had the
second best banding day ever at this station! 73 banded, 6 returns = 79.
Thanks to Andy Doll, DMNS Ornithology Fellow, for his help banding, and the
great crew of volunteers who got birds out of the nets while Andy and I talked
with the MANY visitors (probably more humans than birds) out enjoying the
frigid weather and super birds. And the Kingerys, who were out with a group
doing the spring bird count, for sharing their bird knowledge. Great day!
