A Couple More Banded Birds

Spent another part of a day drying nets and caught a couple more birds.

Got one of our resident Carolina Wrens.

Though being quiet lately, the Western Palm Warblers are still around. Pretty bird. You can still see some of the coloration that are more noticeable when they molt for Spring.

I had to remove a few Mourning Doves, too. I don't bother banding them as they are easily food for predators. Once they all flushed, signaling a predator nearby, I folded the nets for the day so as not to offer an easy meal.
