This last Saturday a contingent (19 strong) of GEAS came on a field trip to view the songbird migration banding at Lucky Peak. I was traveling back from the conference in Portland that day and was bumbed to miss some great folks but I gather that everyone enjoyed the visit and Gary Robinson was kind enough to get some photos for me. I always enjoy these trips because many good questions are always asked and it's nice to catch up with some great local birders. See you next time!
GEAS folks look on as Heidi & Heriberto process birds.
Here's Bruce (center) detailing something ;-) - maybe he's explaining how bird skulls ossify!
Heriberto (left) & Heidi probably discussing the finer points of
Empidonax flycatcher identification as the crowd looks on.
Two Pine Siskins that are banded, measured, & weighed and ready to return to their lives.
A young male Black-headed Grosbeak is nearing freedom ....
"Adios amigos!"
