We stopped by the bird-banding station by Harrier Meadow/former Erie Landfill today in time to catch Mike Newhouse (above right) and a few of his trusty volunteers (Danielle Klimiciak, Holly Ellerbusch and Zach Batren), close their field station for the year.

The last bird banded: Tree Sparrow.

A hearty thank you to Mike and his team for all their work — and all those Teaser-palooza photo-ops!
