I had a pretty good morning banding out at Greenway Farms this morning. The
highlight was a Brown Creeper; only the second one I have ever banded out
there. The other birds banded today were:

 

White-throated Sparrow = 6

Northern Cardinal = 4

Eastern Tufted Titmouse = 3

Yellow-rumped Warbler = 3

Downy Woodpecker = 1

Field Sparrow = 1

Hermit Thrush = 1

Brown Thrasher = 1

 

A lot of the wintering birds I have captured this winter (White-throated
Sparrows, Fox Sparrows, Yellow-rumped Warblers) have had decent amounts of
fat (2 to 4 on a scale of 6). I usually don't see them put on fat until
March, as they prepare for migration. I'd like to know what they are feeding
on and what makes this year different.
