Yesterday, we noted with great excitement the return of 3 birds banded in 2008 (1 Warbling Vireo and 2 Yellow Warblers). We could hardly contain ourselves today when we recaptured a Yellow Warbler banded as a young male in 2006. He has been caught every year except one since then. We marked the occasion by photographing him in front of a new poster about our frequently returning YEWAs that was prepared by long-time volunteer Gary Mattes. (2006 was our first year at our current banding station location.)
