There is so much to be learned from banding birds … like this Yellow Warbler banded in R.I. who continues to return to its nesting site. Did you know Monmouth County is lucky to have its own bird ba**er? Tom Brown has been banding birds at Sandy Hook for years and contributes to this very valuable research data set!
