Did you know free-roaming domestic cats kill between 100-350 MILLION birds each year in Canada? This makes cats by far the largest source of direct human-caused bird mortality. Among these millions was one bird we banded in July. To learn more about this band recovery, cats, birds, and what YOU can do: www.lslbo.org/weekly-banding-reports/september-2-8-2021/
Today we banded the 5000th bird of Fall Migration Monitoring 2021! As is fitting, it was a Myrtle Warbler - a subspecies of the Yellow-rumped Warbler that is most commonly our #1 banded species.
