This unusual season continues...Caught more year-round residents than either summer residents or migrants today, including the first 2 Downy Woodpeckers, both males, caught together in the net, both with brood patches. Don't know where the girls were! Also caught a HY Song Sparrow; I don't remember ever catching a fledgling during spring banding before. Here's the break-down:
