| "Myrtle Warbler" male banded on the same day |
One of the great joys in any bird banding project is getting recaptures, and gaining that extra piece of insight into the lives of those individuals and species.
I just heard the details about one of our recaptured birds from last spring’s banding efforts at The Nature Conservancy’s McCarran Ranch – a Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warbler. Ken Voget, who was banding, found her in a mixed flock of Myrtle and Audubon-type Yellow-rumped Warblers – it turns out she had been banded in late September 2012, near Imperial, Saskatchewan … and a year and a half later, stopped over in Nevada on her way north!
Happy travels,
Jen
