Eastern Wood-Pewee

On Monday I banded an Eastern Wood-Pewee.  Although common in Eastern forests, not much is known about its breeding habits. One problem is that this flycatcher nests high in the forest canopy. 

Other birds of note: a Black-capped Chickadee originally banded on 21 August 2008 was recaptured on 19 July 2010; a Northern Cardinal banded on 18 April 2008 was recaptured on 20 July 2010.
