 Despite your good intentions for research, I cannot help but feel that the 
stress and mortality of the banding process cannot be justified for migrants.   
I have witnessed this first-hand. We humans have continously made it more 
difficult for birds to survive, especially in migration. Please rethink your 
program.  Carol Goes

Hello all, 
 
The KY Dept of Fish and Wildlife is conducting a pilot migration banding 
project off the Pea Ridge loop trail behind the Salato Wildlife Education 
Center. Myself and others have operated mist nets occasionally (3-4 times/week) 
since September 18th. Aside from 5 ovenbirds, a catbird, and winter wren (9/28) 
captured during the last part of Sept and early Oct, we just got our first 
noticeable push of migrants this past week behind the cold front. Highlights 
are listed below. All of the warblers had moderate to heavy fat loads. 
 
10/8 
Black-throated blue (hatching-year female) 
Winter wrens (2) 
Brown creepers (2) 
White-throated sparrow 
 
10/10 
Black-throated blue (HY male) 
Hooded (adult female) 
Magnolia (adult male) 
Black-and-white (HY male) 
Tennessee (2) 
Chestnut-sided (very fat HY female) 
Black-throated green (2 adult males) 
Golden-crowned kinglet 
 
10/12 
Hooded (very fat adult male) 
Wood thrush (HY) 
 
Cheers,
