Census – Giovanni at one with the world around him. -E. Campanelli
The slow, late Spring pace continues. We banded only 28 birds but….they represented 20 species, including: 4 flycatchers, 3 thrushes, and 9 warblers. So each net run was run with expectation – you just never knew what you might find.
The look of the future: Ben banding, Samuel scribing.

This male Blue-winged Warbler is at least 6 years old. Note the gold wingbars – a genetic intrusion. In those days we still saw the occasional Golden-winged Warbler.
