Warblers At Shaker Lakes













Here are some of the tools of the trade of an Ornithologist  














Checking this Warbler's fat content.  This one has some more eating to do before the flight to South America.  These little rascals can fly up to 500 miles a day!   














Getting ready to put a tracking band on the leg.














Banded warbler,  ready to be released.
He's a pretty bird.

Awesome pics, Darrell. I used to volunteer with local bird banding folks and it was great fun. Only problem is that we'd start working at 4am...bleh.
