Cool fact:
Around 1840, John James Audubon became America's first bird bander,
and the Eastern Phoebe became America's first banded bird,
after he "fixed a light silver thread to the leg" of several nestlings.
When he returned to the area the following year, he located two of the banded birds with their own nests,
evidence for his supposition that birds return to their natal home to breed.
