Summary

Description

At a quick glance, this appears to be just a photo of a sparrow in a colorful cover of willows. If you look closely, though, you'll see an band on the small bird's leg (which the photographer didn't notice until the image was downloaded and viewed on a computer).

Bird banding is a common tool used to learn more about various bird species, including their migration routes, ranges, and life-spans.
