***The birds shown in these photos were temporarily captured, briefly handled, and released unharmed as part of a licensed bird banding research project. All procedures followed strict ethical guidelines and were conducted by trained professionals under appropriate permits to ensure the safety and well-being of the birds. These images were taken and are shared for educational and scientific purposes, and to promote the understanding and conservation of avian species. We encourage respectful viewing and remind the public that handling wild birds should only be done by those with proper training and authorization.
