"Would you get tentanus if you were bitten by a Rusty Blackbird?"
Well I guess I will find out.
A variety of sparrows, finches and black birds were captured and tagged on October 30th. There were seven different sparrows caught, not counting Juncos. Sometimes there was a moment of uncertainty about the species, especially with juveniles, but the banders had reference books available. Here are six different birds. How many can you identify?

Good question about tetanus and that rusty bird!
ReplyDeleteRusty blackbird is a new one for me. Tetanus shot, ;)
ReplyDeleteSo how are your fingers today?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great experience. The weather was perfect this weekend for banding birds. The Rusty Black bird sure is lovely. What is that saying...no pain no gain! You have received a bit of pain with the "pinches"...but look what you have gained. I say you won!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I've never even heard of a rusty blackbird.
ReplyDeleteI also was curious to know how you got upside down writing! Will check it out.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think that is a valid comment about the rusty blackbird. LOL!
