What does YEPE mean? Web pages that contain AMRO, TUTI, CAGO and so forth do
not contain YEPE.

Subject: [va-richmond-general] Spring migration banding Powhatan- Easter
Sunday 2009
Have been doing some spring migration banding in Powhatan when possible
since April 4. Friday the 10th-13 White-throated sparrows were banded as
well as recapturing a Hermit Thrush we first banded April 4. There is more
bird song every time we go out and today was no different. It was a
wonderful "Sunrise Service" at 6 am. As the weather got warmer the birds
(although not hitting the nets) got more active. Heard my FOS Northern
Parula and Yellow-throated Vireo. Had 3 fly-overs of a Broad-wing Hawk and
many Wood ducks. The Blue-grey Gnatcatchers, Yellow-throated warblers and
Louisiana Waterthrush have been calling for > a week. We were pleased to net
an Ovenbird on the first run this morning and a couple Cardinals....other
than that and oh yeah a couple YEPE's the canopy was busier than our nets.
The May-apples, Spring Beauty and Fiddle-heads made for a wonderful walk
through the forest. A peaceful morning watching spring unfold.
Happy Easter,
Julie Kacmarcik
This YEPE was obviously hit by a Cooper's Hawk.
OVENBIRD
