Kinglets in one 42' mist net, with over 100 caught in 3 hours! Does this
qualify as a migrant trap?"

Let's see... was that a big tree, or a medium sized tree?
Yes, I think that definitely qualifies as a migrant trap! I'll look forward
to visiting the area this spring. Thanks for the information and the neat
posting.

Oh, yeah... about that "English Sparrow"... my ancestry is both English and
French, and I'm outraged that they don't call it the "Frenglish Sparreaux"!
