I spent a couple hours one morning last week at the Jekyll Island Banding Station; it’s Georgia’s oldest continually operated station. There’s always a nice variety of birds and the folks who run the station, for a couple weeks each fall, are happy for visitors.
This particular warbler, a Black and White, was quite feisty!
And handsome, of course…
Note the “target” penned on the bander’s finger… he says it gives the birds somewhere to aim their bites!
; )
Beautiful warbler! I do love Jeckyll (and all the others in the “Golden Isles”).
Years ago, when our son was a young teen, and our daughter just past toddler, we vacationed on Jekyll Island. I loved it. I so wished more east coast shoreline had been so preserved, instead of over-built.
And as for the little black and white bird being banded–love it. Looks as though you’ve found some new outlets for your birding passion.
Missed the bunny post – thanks!
Love that little black and white. Nothing like it here.
