House Finch
The House Finch pictured was quite the surprise at the BBL's Fall Migration Station at Patuxent Research Refuge in 2023. Despite being common feeder birds in Maryland, this is only the second House Finch banded at the Migration Station since the 1990s!

Field Sparrow
Field Sparrows, like the one pictured, are one of 15 different sparrow species that have been banded at the BBL's Fall Migration Station.

Examining the Wing of a Blue-headed Vireo
A biologist gently extends the wing of a Blue-headed Vireo to look for clues on how old the bird is. During fall migration, scientists can generally determine if a bird was hatched during the current year or if the bird is older. They do this by looking at the general wear of the feathers, and if the bird has retained any of their plumage as a nestling.

Winter Wren
At the Bird Banding Lab's Fall Migration Station, Winter Wrens are one of the smallest species they band. They have the smallest tail measurement at the station, between 26-36 millimeters!

New shed at the Bird Banding Station
A large shed is part of the new bird banding station. It will serve as a more private place for banding and storage.

Wilson's Warbler
Bird Bander reviewing the "Identification Guide to North American Birds" by Peter Pyle, to see if this Wilson's Warbler's black crown gives any indication of its age.
