For the past year or so, I've been volunteering at a Twin Cities nature center monthly bird banding session-mostly to try and learn about birds from people who are in "in the know" and like educating neophytes like me. When my husband saw this article online about a banded bird record, he sent me the link. If you haven't seen it yet, enjoy!
