Hi Birders and Banders,

I've just uploaded the VARC spring blog with all the activity from a very busy period of monitoring and banding at Colony Farm.
Included in this blog are a photo essay on confusing Empid Flycatchers, the transformation of American Goldfinches, thoughts on the Audubon's Myrtle Warbler split, lots of information on molt and ageing of spring wood warblers, studies of Yellow Warblers and Black-headed Grosbeaks and to pique your interest information on a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker!

Happy summer birding and banding!
