Charlotte and I have  been working hard and getting out to our study site almost every day. We went out banding two days ago, and caught lots of birds, including yellow warblers, robins, and brown thrashers. We also recaptured a male house wren that sabrina banded two years ago (exciting!).  Here are some of the pictures we got from saturday:

Angry kingbird! We finally got a picture of the orange!
