As if missing the northern shrike banding weren’t bad enough, my buddy Larry Sirvio has sent more photos of what I missed at Carpenter’s banding this morning!
Hm. I don’t think that turkey is going to fit into that Potter Trap…and the next photo I think deserves a caption contest:
Here is a first year sharp-shinned sitting on top of a Potter Trap with a freshly trapped junco. I bet a junco has never been so happy to be trapped in its life. Got any caption ideas? The one who makes me chuckle out loud wins their choice of a Kaufman Field Guide to Birds of North America or a Lang Elliot’s Music of the Birds: A Celebration of Bird Song (with CD)–prizses courtesy of Houghton Mifflin.
Doh!
Posting at the same time as the results =! win. That took some talent though.
I personally really liked Aaron’s too.
I know I’m too late, but…
