• We banded over 69 mornings using anywhere from 15 to 30 mist nets
• 2047 birds of 80 species were banded
• 57 birds banded in previous seasons were recaptured
• The average capture rate was 29.7 birds/day
• We banded our 10,000^th bird on 10/6/15 and it was a White-crowned Sparrow
• The station total is now at 113 species banded with 2 new species being added this fall: Blue-headed Vireo and Cape May Warbler
• Our banding facility is complete and we have been actively using it … especially on cold mornings
• Additional information is in the attached LLCC BBS — 2015 Fall Final Report
