Red-capped Robin Fieldwork Gallery

Ecology of the Red-capped Robin in a fragmented landscape.

A metal band is placed on one leg of the bird. The band is individually numbered and has an address where people should return the band if they find it on a dead bird. This provides information on bird movements and life span.
