RMBO Barr Banding Report, 9/16/14

[meredith]

The warm weather seems to have slowed things down; only 33 new birds banded today.  Cool and surprising bird of the day was a Sage Thrasher. We haven't caught one at the station since 1995!  And the first I've had in the hand.  We all spent a long time staring at its truly beautiful eyes!
