a cute young robin!
a couple ovenbirds
a couple more magnolia warblers!
a Downy woodpecker!
a sassy ruby-crowned kinglet! our first of the season too!
more Carolina wrens of course!
my first black-throated green warbler in the hand!
an American goldfinch cutie!
a tufted titmouse!
a handsome male northern cardinal! (and also a young male who was extremely rude & bitey)
and a gray-cheeked/Bicknell's thrush! (these species are extremely difficult to separate, and especially when you're banding at the southern end of the breeding range for Bicknell's during migration)
And a quick reminder that birds should be named for their features, not people. #BirdNamesForBirds
