Remember that back in May I banded a Painted Bunting at Greenway Farms. Well, I
just received word from the Bird Banding Lab that it was the first Painted
Bunting ever banded in Tennessee! Since I have been banding out there, I have
had 3 other state banding records; I have set late banding records for Hooded
Warbler (October 30th), Worm-eating Warbler (October 24th), and Yellow-throated
Warbler (October 12th). I will see how I can outdo myself when fall migration
rolls around!
