Banding was conducted on a total of 24 days between 7 August and 3 November 2010, which is consistent with protocols although a couple days were "non-standard" with fewer nets run. A record number of 2201 new birds was banded, of 71 species which is the second highest ever and tied with number of species banded in 2009. In addition, 268 birds were recaptured and 53 released unbanded, resulting in a total number of captures of 2522. The number of net hours (1776.69) was the second highest ever, and almost the same number as 2009. The capture rate of 141.9 birds per 100 net hours was the highest ever by a considerable margin. Below is a simple species list with number banded this fall. More details will be published as a PDF file on the Metro Beach Banding website.
