Banding Day 2014 As It Happened

[Dumpsterkitty]

Congratulations to Beauty & Dot.ca on their 2 male & 2 female eyases!

[Dumpsterkitty]

The eyases are being returned to the nestbox!

[Dumpsterkitty]

Everyone is safely back in the nestbox.

Beauty & Dot.ca will probably continue to fly defense for a little while. They will return to check on the eyases once they are sure they have "defeated" the intruders.

One last thing...correction to band numbers...Nor'easter's VID band number is 23/BA black over green.

Thanks again for joining us!
