For the first time in the five years of banding in the yard as part of the Neighborhood Nestwatch program we caught a warbler (not one of the target species of the program so it didn't get banded).  About an hour into the nets being up I checked one of the nets and immediately noticed a Pine Warbler caught up in the net.  Super excited to see it and after a few photos I was able to release it safely back into the yard.  More on the nestwatch program can be found here.
