Scientists examine the tail of a Fox Sparrow for growth bars. Growth bars are faint lines in the tail which illustrate the normal growth of feathers, typically forming every 24 hours as the feather grows.

Spring migration departure date (a–e) and duration of first stopover (f–j) by species and infection status across 84 individuals with paired influenza and telemetry data. Partially transparent points show raw data; large points and error bars show means and 95% confidence intervals estimated from linear models.

Nonlethal smallmouth bass sampling is being done to address health concerns and population declines that may be associated with polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the upper Potomac River. As part of our nonlethal sampling methods, blood/plasma can be analyzed for PFAS in smallmouth bass.

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!

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.
