Notes: We caught 2 BELTED KINGFISHER together in a single
net, the result of typical chasing these birds do around
the ponds. Both were adults, 1 male, 1 female. I still
don't have kingfisher sized bands, so they were released
unbanded.

An adult female WILSON'S WARBLER was a notable recapture
first banded as a hatch-year in 1999.

I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.
