The headline today was returns - 7 birds banded in prior seasons caught for the first time this year. Six were migrators returning to breed. One, and likely the oldest of the group, was a Black-capped Chickadee banded in 2015. He probably has spent his whole life in the area around the banding station and the Nature Center feeders. Here's the breakdown of those 7 birds plus the 14 new birds banded:
