One of the cardinals is at least four years old as I first banded this male as an AHY on April 27, 2008. The old injury to the non-banded foot did not hinder the bird when it flew off and perched.

Cardinal recapture
MAPS session number 6 on a very humid hot morning. Banded four birds and there were two Northern Cardinal recaptures. Low numbers, which is normal for this station, but the birds were spaced through the morning.
