[va-bird] Kiptopeke Songbird banding and a Lincoln's Sparrow!

Howdy All,
This is just a quick update from the banding station. Today was another nice 
day to be at the station! After a brief spell of rain early this morning, we 
finally got some banding in. And let me tell ya, the yellow-rumps are in! It 
was a nice day for other species as well!

A few of the species include:

Brown Creeper      8
Eastern Phoebe    8
Ruby-crowned Kinglet    18
Golden-crowned Kinglet  27
Winter Wren       4
Blackpoll Warbler     3
Blue-headed Vireo    1
Hermit Thrush        14
White-throated Sparrow  17
Yellow-breasted Chat    2
Yellow-rumped Warblers      A lot!

But the biggest surprise of the day was the capture of a  Lincoln's 
Sparrow!!!!!   Wow!!

We ended up banding 323 individuals today. And let me tell ya, I'm tired!

Cheers,
Jethro Runco
Head Bander
 
P.S.  Hey Todd, Sorry about the WEKI !!  :-)   As soon as I spotted it, you 
were the first person I thought of !  And I just smiled!
It was not to be found today, but I'll keep ya posted!    JR
