Winter Wren
At the Bird Banding Lab's Fall Migration Station, Winter Wrens are one of the smallest species they band. They have the smallest tail measurement at the station, between 26-36 millimeters!

White-throated Sparrow Encounter
A banded White-throated Sparrow, like the one pictured, was encountered fall 2022 at BBL's Fall Migration Station in Patuxent Research Refuge, Laurel, MD. Typically encounters of banded birds are ones previously banded by the station.

Black-throated Blue Warbler Wing
Scientists can use clues in the wing to age birds. In this case the bird has molted all its wing feathers recently, so it is an after hatch year male.
