Form this morning's visit to the Burke Lake Banding Station. The highlight of the morning was the capture and banding of a young mourning warbler. Here is photo of him in the hand of one of the interns at the station just before he was released back into the wild.

The photo brings to mind a play on words to an old cliché: "A mourning warbler in hand is better than two in the bush."
