How do you differentiate between the two? Here also in the east coast, we have some finches that look like sparrows and I am yet to learn how to differentiate between the two in a field. Quite difficult.

Since the ability of the bird to thermoregulate while imprisoned in the net is somewhat impaired I assume that your retrieval rate must be very rapid. Banding this late in the season is unheard of here except for winter species such as Snow Buntings and raptors. Snowy Owls are already being reported in our area, so as soon as I can shake this dreadful cold I'll be out there searching.David M.
