Weeki Wachee Sparrow Drive - February 7, 2015

It is great to be a small part of the research where the sparrows are caught and banded.  Some were re-caught from previous years. 

From the coordinator of the drive:

"We recaptured one Grasshopper Sparrow banded last year in the same field and one House Wren that was banded two years ago in the same field and recaptured last year also in the same field.
Birds banded for the first time today:

2 Le Conte's Sparrow

5 Grasshopper Sparrow

10 Swamp Sparrow

7 Savannah Sparrow

1 House Wren"
