The co-founder of the McKellar Island Bird Observatory says the station banded a record-low number of birds this fall – but John Woodcock says the likely explanation doesn't appear to be cause for concern.
The observatory banded a total of 938 birds of 63 species this fall, compared with a mean total of 2,302 birds of 67 species over the previous five years, according to its Facebook page.
