First Geolocator Recovered!

It's May 17th and Golden-winged Warblers have just started arriving to our field sites in the last few days. Today we found a break in the rainy weather and went in search of Golden-winged Warblers. We found several singing male Golden-wings this morning and all but one were un-banded. The one bird that was banded also had a geolocator, what luck! We followed the warbler and his female around for a while before we found a good netting spot and recaptured him. A very exciting day! This is our first geolocator recovered and we deployed a total of 28 last year. Wow! What an adrenaline rush when that guy hit the net!
