I captured a photo of a Song sparrow with a band at St. Clair Metropark on 10 Dec 2023 on the trails near the nature center. Unfortunately, the numbers cannot be read in the photo but it is clearly banded.

Thad, Thanks for mentioning this. Most Song Sparrows leave southeastern Michigan in the winter, but some to stay over the winter.
