[Tweeters] bird-banding

[Megan Lyden]

Hi Tweets,

 

Have been following the discussion on bird-banding.  

 

In all my years of volunteering at a bird-banding site, I have witnessed
very few bird fatalities or injuries and the few that have occurred have
been documented.    

 

Actually, what is interesting is how many banded migratory birds are
re-captured year after year at the banding station where they were banded;
meaning they are doing fine and also that the little patch of woods or yard
they are moving through is vital.
