 Only three weeks or so behind in posting pics from banding dates!  One of the interesting things we are seeing is that with the bug-rich season early on, many birds had multiple broods.  This translated into species like Gray Catbirds fledging broods just days before we banded the bird in post (see the yello-orange gape at the corners of the mouth?)
