Jubilee Farm Bird Banding Conversation
"Over five banding days that we've had (at Jubilee Farm), a total of 241 birds. So that's a pretty respectable number. I know just a few days ago that when we were banding we had a total of 81 and we had 30 species! So, there's two things that we look at: we look at both how many birds we're catching but then also the diversity of birds. Any time that we're in the mid-20s or higher that's very good diversity for a single day. So, we did very well, and that's a tribute to the the sisters and their dedication to the farm and in the love of the land as well because it's 164 acres of really pristine habitat." ~ Tony Rothering, Lincoln land Association of Bird Banders (LLABB) Bird Banding at Jubilee Farm is a fun event for scientists and fans of birds alike. In May of 2020 Sister Rose Marie Riley, OP, and Tony Rothering talked about the bird banding events over last two years. Tony is a licensed bird ba**er with Lincoln land Association of Bird Banders (LLABB) and a professor of biology at Lincoln Land College. Sister Rose Marie is the Director of Jubilee Farm.

Your moment of Zen, brought to you by Jubilee Farm, https://www.richsaal.com/, and God.
Don't forget to make Jubilee Farm part of your holiday shopping this year.
Tuesday proved to be our best day of the fall season at Jubilee Farm... so far. The weather conditions were almost ideal, cloudy skies and very little wind. We captured 57 birds (52 newly banded and 5 recaptures) of 16 species (see attached for details). We had at least 3 instances today of walking up to a net that had 10+ birds captured within! The high count was the 20 birds in Net 8 (bridge net), which included 14 Cedar Waxwings (13 were banded with 1 escapee)! It was quite exciting! Our season total stands at 414 birds captured (385 newly banded and 29 recaptures) of 62 species. We also did add 2 species to the cumulative station total (currently 78 species): Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and Dark-eyed Junco. Ba**er Tony Rothering and his assistants, Grace Norris and Samantha Reif did a great job with the high volume of birds! They might need a raise ... or bring more donuts ... 🙂
Next Tuesday (11/16) will be our last banding day for the Fall 2021 season. We can only hope the results will be similar!!
Beautiful sunrise at Jubilee Farm, and the "birds" are watching us put up nets. Maybe next time buddy!

#FeedingHungers Tip #6: Feeding the hunger of the Earth.
Earth’s ecosystem is the origin, support, and sustenance of all life. Earth feeds us: bodies, minds, and spirits. We recognize our interdependence with the whole Earth community and have affirmed several corporate stances that acknowledge this: recognizing global climate change, calling for nuclear disarmament, seeking right relationship with all creation and limiting the genetically modified organisms.
At Jubilee Farm, our center for ecology and spirituality, we endeavor to model the care required for the sustainability of Earth.
