Started the day with 2 semi-rarities for the banding station - a Redstart and a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Other cool captures included 4 birds banded in prior years, including a Yellow Warbler, banded as an adult in 2006, who we have caught every year. (So, 8 or more years old!) Here's the breakdown:

Then open daily (again, weather permitting) through June 3.
