Bird banding data from various research projects conducted within Great Smoky Mountains National Park, including but not limited to studies GRSM-00013, -00014, -00112, -00128, -00163, -00164, -00434, -00570, -00721, -00793, -00857, -00984, -01101, -01804, and -01805. This data is periodically downloaded from the USGS Bird Banding Lab. Most birds were captured in mist nets and fitted with a single metal numeric band. Some individuals were also fitted with plastic colored bands to facilitate identification when seen free in the field. Additional data collected includes species, age, sex, molt, reproductive status, date, capture location, capture time, and/or ectoparasites present.
