Unmasking The Secret Lives of Swainson's Warbler (Banding Expedition in Louisiana)

Swainson's Warblers are secretive birds that like to hide in some of the darkest areas with the thickest cover. In Louisiana, I team up with Swainson's Warbler researcher and MS student Garrett Rhyne from Louisiana State University, in an effort to band some Swainson's Warblers and learn more about them.
