You said it all…what an amazing little guy. So fragile and yet so robust❤️

[@tncrhodeisland]

Hopefully we'll see him again next year!

[@jeffreysokal7264]

One of my favorite birds! Thanks.

[@tncrhodeisland]

Awesome! A charismatic one, for sure.

How incredible (and cute)! We see so many birds without any idea of where they've traveled or what they've experienced, this is an incredible moment.

[@tncrhodeisland]

Yes! A little bird that weighs as much as two nickels migrating thousands of miles to this exact spot! And then again and again!

[@BushKayakersCampingAustralia]

cool . just wondering how you caught it ? Do you trap them each year to monitor them ?

[@tncrhodeisland]

Yes, Kim sets up mist nets during spring and fall migration in the same locations every year. The data set goes back to the late 1960s.

@@tncrhodeisland cool . i believe shared data like this is important for so many reasons . so long as the birds aren't to stressed to the point of freaking out . thanks keep up the good work . What an amazing beautiful life that little being is ! gosh

[@tncrhodeisland]

@@BushKayakersCampingAustralia Thanks! The process is pretty quick and aimed at minimizing stress on the bird. Kim releases them as quickly as possible.
