A rather slow morning today at our bird banding site here in Saint Joseph, Missouri.
We only banded seven birds and five of those were Gray Catbirds. The other two were a Swainson's Thrush and a Wilson's Warbler. Surely, better (more) birds will be moving through before too long!

First ever Sharp-shinned Hawk, banded today
We banded a bird this morning which I have never banded before. We had seen it near the mist nets a couple of times during the previous couple of weeks. We even thought that it might have been responsible for attacking two of the smaller birds caught in the mist nets.
* Photos taken by Karen Lyman (1 - 3) and Jack Hilsabeck (4), members of our bird banding team.

Golden-winged Warbler
On September 15, 2011 we banded this hatch-year, Golden-winged Warbler on perimeter of MWSU here in Saint Joseph. This is one of our more "showy" warblers. The number of warblers is increasing as they make their way to their southern wintering grounds. We are hoping for a good variety to band.
