#28—Another Wayward Purple Finch: How Far Did It Fly?

Although we learn a lot about birds from just banding them, even more most significant knowledge comes when a banded bird is recaptured, telling us about migration patterns and possibly longevity and site fidelity. Such was the case "This Week at Hilton Pond North" (Lansing NC) when we caught a Purple Finch banded far away from us and even in a different country! Hear all about it in the “Deep Dive” podcast, which includes notes about snow—plus our weekly tally of birds banded and recaptured locally.After listening to this podcast you can view the complete photo essay at https://www.hiltonpondnorth.org/twahpn-20260101.htmlHappy Nature Watching—And Listening!
