Birds Bird Banding

[-ST-]

While tromping around the Iona Beach Regional Park, I came across a little cabin where people were banding birds.
They kindly asked if I wanted to take a picture.

Wilson's Warbler

• ILCE-1
• FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II

Not sure what this unhappy guy was. This photo was shot through an open window. Once the banding was complete, the bird would be handed to another person through the window.

• ILCE-1
• FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II
• 200.0 mm

That person would then walk the bird to the place where it would be released.
