Description
This Northern Cardinal has a banded leg. The image was taken 9April2016 at Red River NWR Headquarters Unit in northwest Louisiana. Since cardinals don't migrate, I'm pretty certain this bird was banded in the previous year or two during a demonstration for kids held at the Refuge. The bird has been seen and photographed several times.

Thank you, Maxine. Each June Red River National Wildlife Refuge in northwest Louisiana hosts a "bird camp" for local kids. The week long day camp focuses on all sorts of activities to teach kids about birds. Usually on one day a certified banding person (in this case a local ornithology professor) does a demonstration on how birds are caught in a mist net and then how they are banded. This particular cardinal received his bracelet a couple of years ago and has been seen and photographed around the Refuge Visitor Center on numerous occasions.
