Banding this week at Colony Farm

Spring migration is now in full swing with some nice birds showing up in our nets. Cedar waxwings are always a favourite, adult females like this one with extensive waxy tips to the secondaries and less extensive black on the chin.

And lots of Wilson’s Warblers and Warbling Vireos, this adult (After Second Year) bird of unknown sex a nice example of definitive adult plumage in spring.
