Temporary leave...

To those who might be reading this blog, circumstances dictate that I temporarily suspend updates. I will resume when my connection status is more reliable, probably sometime in August. I know y'all will miss me (ya sure); see you then!

BOBO Linkage...

Forgive my extended absence, dear readers, life has been rather exciting lately. Other details to follow as warranted...

Last weekend at the regular bird banding session at Lowry Nature Center, we retrapped a Bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus) on the same hillside where it had been banded last year. Simply amazing!
