Swamp Sparrow Day

Turned out to be a fairly quiet morning again.

Minutes before sunrise, we captured a Swamp Sparrow.



A bit later we recaptured the sparrow again and a recaptured White-eyed Vireo.

One of our new visitors, Falon, got to release the Swamp Sparrow.



The White-eyed Vireo.



At the end of the day we caught another Swamp Sparrow. This was a recapture that we first banded two months ago.



We are not banding next Sunday. Staff shortage.

No Banding January 4th.

Front appraoching. Rain could be here into the overnight. Plus, a day of Christmas Bird counting. Haven't walked this much in years! Going to feel it tonight and tomorrow.

Sorry to those still waiting on a Christams present. Will try again next week.
