It was an excellent day for the opening of Richmond Audubon's Monitoring Avian
Productivity and Survivorship (MAPS) station at the Powhanat Wildlife
Management Area. The session was well-attended by RAS volunteers and other
interested visitors.
The morning opened with great excitement at the capture and banding of two
pileated woodpeckers, a first for the station. In all we processed 31 birds:
24 newly banded and 7 returns from previous years. A returned male Kentucky
Warbler in breeding condition was among the last birds captured in the day.
List for today:
white-eyed vireo (WEVI) 4 : includes one return from 2003 (an adult then,
making it 5+ years old)
red-eyed vireo (REVI) 4
pine warbler (PIWA) 1
black and white warbler (BAWW) 1
prairie warbler (PRAW) 1
common yellowthroat (COYE) 1
