Dipet Update

Ruthven 2011.4.25

We spent the morning helping out with bird banding at Ruthven Park. It was very quiet. There weren’t a lot of birds around, so the natives got restless and started mud fights. Joy!

Anyway, Caleb did take a few pictures. Here they are.

A cottontail rabbit feeds along one of the net lanes.

White-throated Sparrow in full breeding plumage.

Here is a closer view of the White-throated Sparrow. You can see the yellow lores just above the eyes.

I also did some more sound recording. I’ll see if I can get those posted later, since they still need a bit of editing.

Enjoy!
