Today was the first time I banded at Redwood Creek. This site tends to catch more birds than the other sites, so I was expecting madness! Instead, it was a rather calm day with not too many surprises (beside a huge hole in one of our nets, probably from a deer running through?). We did catch a juvenile song sparrow and two juvenile chestnut-backed chickadees. Also, Sam found a hummingbird nest! Very cute!
