Got it. Thanks Allen and good luck on Belle Isle.

Just to clarify, I have not banded at Lake St. Clair Metropark since fall of 2023, long before the Bald Eagle nest showed up. My statement was that IF we had been allowed to continue our research into 2025, it MIGHT have been curtailed anyway because of this nest.
So, the only banding I am doing now is winter banding (Oct-Mar) at the Inkster Banding Station, on Belle Isle in spring and fall migration, hummingbird banding across southern Michigan in summer and fall, and winter hummingbird banding (Sep-Jan) in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.

When you said you started a new banding station on Belle Isle and have been operating there since last month, I thought that meant INSTEAD of continuing at LSCMP and not IN ADDITION to your operations at LSCMP. Apparently the HCMP authorities are letting you work at LSCMP through 2025 despite the apparent establishment of a Bald Eagle nest in the area (which they are justifiably very protective of). I’m glad they are allowing you to want you wanted to do then. Earlier I was remembering a time when they wanted you to stop. Perhaps the whole reason they wanted you out of the area was because of the Eagle nest but they couldn’t (or didn’t want to) say anything for fear of attracting attention to it? Sounds plausible to me.

Fred,
With the new Bald Eagle nest at Lake St. Clair Metropark, I might not have been able to finish my planned final (and 20th) year of banding there in 2025.

Congratulations Allen. It’s great to hear the State Park System has accommodated you where the HCMP has recently failed. It will be interesting to see how different the data is between the two sites which is one metric you would never been able to collect had you remained at LSCMP. I just hope it’s a shorter drive for you. That would be a plus.

Birders,
Beginning on October 5, 2024, I started a new bird banding station on Belle Isle (a State Park) in the Detroit River. The plan is for this station to continue well into the future, with a mission that includes research, education, and participation by underserved communities. I have posted the results of the first fall season at this new station. Visit ,u Bird Banding Blog to view results and photo highlights:
