A safely-caught bird. While not a House Wren, this live thrasher specimen demonstrates Baldwin’s handling of bird-catching in preparation for banding. From a captured specimen such as this one, he could not only band a bird prior to migration but also take it into his lab for the purposes of studying temperature physiology. | Date: ca. 1930 | Source: S.
