Today I decided to not work as usual and instead take a day off. The perfect cure for a case of the blues is a visit to Braddock Bay. I started the day off early at the songbird banding station. It is a bit early in the season but you never know what birds you may encounter. We walked the nets and watched as they quickly untangled the birds. The birds cannot see the nets and fly into them. They are then placed in a small cloth bag and taken to the bander who will take down some data about each bird. Lots of birds were around, common loons, a merlin, a flyover from a sandhill crane, many kinglets, sparrows, and lots of migrating birds of prey.

Corby, you're day was amazing!
Thank you for sharing it here.
I had no idea 'civilians' could visit these places.
Commentary and photos are wonderful.
I spelled 'your' wrong...sheesh!
You can! These really cool places are everywhere if you look for them. It was a great day!
