Did you catch bird banding this week? 🐦✨

📡 Two hatch-year Hermit Thrushes received radio transmitter backpacks for our winter habitat tracking project. They were caught in nets less than 1 meter apart!

Migration and winter arrivals: 🪶 American Robins (11!) that may be passing through, and Myrtle Warblers (8) are settling in for winter—one of the only warbler species to overwinter in Tennessee. We even captured two Cedar Waxwings, a young female and an older male, showing off their small red "waxy tips" on their flight feathers. Cedar Waxwings grow more red feather tips as they get older, and males tend to have more tips than females.

This week by the numbers:
# of birds captured: 36
# of recaptures: 7
# of species banded: 11

On Sunday, Friends of Warner Parks hosted the 35th

On Sunday, Friends of Warner Parks hosted the 35th annual Sunday in the Park luncheon among the rolling fields and vibrant fall foliage of Edwin Warner Park 🍂 🥂

With the support of our committed underwriters, sponsors, guests, and event chairs, Sunday in the Park raised over $850,000 to support Friends of Warner Parks and our ongoing efforts to protect and enhance this beautiful space.

Special thank you to our event chairs Kelly Crockett and Dana Oman for their vision and dedication– we could not have done this without you!
