On a field trip to Barr Lake CO. we were able to see some bird banding. This little guy was not happy. :argue:

Jim, thanks for posting his image. I really makes me appreciate the delicate but firm handling required to band these little guys.

Interesting image Jim. I understand that chickadees are not favorites of bird banders because they are inclined to use their beak and claws on the bander's hands.
