Purple Finch, Female or Juvenile Male,
Carpodacus purpureus

Although more than 47,300 birds have been banded since 1982 at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History, only 8 birds banded elsewhere have been recaptured and released at the site, as listed on the table and map below. This is a very low number but might be expected because there are so few active banders in the Carolinas.

AGE KEY

L = Local (bird was hatched locally and banded as a nestling, or as a fledgling incapable of sustained flight)
HY = Hatch Year (bird was hatched in the current year)
AHY = After Hatch Year (bird was hatched in a previous but unknown year)
2Y = Second Year (bird was hatched in the preceding year)
A2Y = After Second Year (bird was hatched not the preceding year but sometime prior to that; follow same formula for A3Y, A4Y, etc.)
U = Unknown (bird's age could not be determined; usually used in fall when HY birds are indistinguishable from adults)
