Hi All-- Erika and I banded a Yellow-beliied Sapsucker today as it attempted to drink from our water feature. Apparently the literature maintains that sapsuckers get most of their water from their sap wells. A photo of the bird, a rather handsome male, is posted on my blog: http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com/
Other birds banded in the last two days include Hermit Thrush and Eastern Phoebe. dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota http://sites.google.com/site/tallmanorum http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com http://picasaweb.google.com/danerika daner...@gmail.com ".... the best shod travel with wet feet" "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ...."--Thoreau ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
