Big Banding Blitz

I thought today went well. The group banded at 3 places in S Brewster Co, including CMO. They caught 81 hummers, 40 of which were Lucifers, plus 5 other species. All had a good time. The weather wasn't over 100° for a change, and with a brisk breeze, not too uncomfortable. The next couple of days are supposed to be brutally hot, so we got lucky there. Here's Kelly retrieving a bird from a trap.


And here's some of the group waiting as Kelly is grilling the meat for lunch.


Food at last...

I love the sequence of Kelly removing a hummingbird from a trap and then the visitors waiting for him to finish grilling... always thought hummingbird would taste pretty fantastic! =)

Yikes, Heidi, that sequencing implication never occurred to me. To set the record straight, we had chicken for lunch.
