113 banded. Click here for a table
summarizing banding totals by season. Species with one asterisk
(14) are probable breeders at MBO, while those with
two (46) are confirmed breeders; several other species are known to
regularly use the site in summer though nesting elsewhere. To
report any species not on the list, please e-mail mbo@migrationresearch.org
