Fudickar and his students catch migratory birds in the Bloomington area. After banding and measuring the bird, they take a feather, which the bird will regrow, that allows them to estimate where the bird is migrating from. Most of the birds caught in the fall and winter in southern Indiana spend the summer in the Boreal forests of Canada and Alaska and migrate south for the winter. Here, Bobay is holding a white-throated sparrow and Fudickar is holding a fox sparrow. Both birds are migrants that visit southern Indiana from October to April. | Photo courtesy Eric Rudd, Indiana University Communications
