Awesome work!! Seeing this brings back amazing memories of the bird banding project I helped with out on the Lake Erie Islands.
Holding one of these beautiful birds in my hand after pulling it from the net is an experience I will never forget.

Aren't you a lucky one. Though...i like birds but wouldnt want to hold a wild one, they dont seem like they're meant to be held.
What was the purpose of the banding?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The banding is a mark-recapture technique used to track them. We want to see how many birds return to the Lake Erie Islands to breed, and if we find a bird in the net that already has a band on it, we know it's been around before.
We really try to handle them as little as possible-- just enough time to take measurements and put a band on the leg.

I certainly won't! Have you considered selling your work as prints? I'm sure you'd earn an awful lot of money!

I've tried. Always trying. Not an awful, and not a lot, and not really money.
