Hi COBirders, Warm and pretty slow today, but one real treat. Total of 17 new birds banded. We did have a few thrushes (Hermit) around, Bullock's Oriole, N Mockingbird, and many warblers in the top of the trees around the cottonwood catkins and "flycatching", including Orange-crowned, Audubon's and Myrtle (Y-rumped), and possible Virginia's Warblers. On the ranch and along Hanover Road FOS Lark Buntings are back, W Kingbird, Loggerhead Shrike, FOS Curve-billed Thrasher.
