Neotropical return
What a delightful surprise today. An ovenbird was in net 41 and it is a recapture. I banded this bird May 24, 2009 as an AHY male. One of the goals of the MAPS program is assessing adult bird survivorship and this bird is contributing to that goal.
I live and work in the Sandhills of North Carolina. The primary focus of this blog is bird banding, gardening and the outdoors. I began mist netting in 2000 and run a MAPS station.
