Hi Birders and Banders,

As we gear up for the 2012 banding season at Colony Farm we will be publishing the monthly blog and a new 'Image of the Month' profiling some of the birds we catch at the banding station.

We thought we'd publish the first one this month to whet people's appetites ahead of spring migration when all the Neotropical migrants begin to return:

Thanks.
