[cobirds] Pineridge Natural Area

It was the last week of banding, and the numbers reflected migration slowing down. With higher number of resident birds caught, the station has a sample of birds who stay at the natural area to breed. This station is unique in that public trails pass right by and get to see the work being done to research avian distribution, demography, migration stopovers, and population. There were many new species for the station and return residents that were banded here in 2023. Thank you to all the volunteers and visitors who helped run the station and spread awareness about conservation. Here is the final list showing new species for the week with a *.
