Hi!

On Sunday, 16 May, in the morning, a Red-headed Woodpecker was caught and
banded at the research station of the Bruce Peninsula Bird Observatory
(Cabot Head, on the Georgian Bay). It was the second ever banded for the
Observatory.

And on Monday, 17 May, a White-eyed Vireo was banded, the first ever! We
also banded 2 Gambel’s White-crowned Sparrow on this same day.

Cabot Head Research Station is located near Dyer’s Bay, on the Bruce
Peninsula. Acces to the station is limited. Please contact us for a visit.
