Hi COBirders, Warm and slow. 22 new birds banded. Only real turnover noticed was in White-crowned Sparrows. Yesterday we banded Gambel's race - today they were all Mountain race. Today was also another "big bird day". Only one warbler banded (MacGillivray's, m), and only one thrush (Swainson's), but N Mockingbird, Brown Thrasher, Black-headed Grosbeak (SY, m), ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK (probably same SY male seen yesterday), and Bullock's Oriole (ASY, m). Also two Plumbeous Vireos banded.
Also seen around the banding station - female Rose-breasted Grosbeak, feamle Black-headed Grosbeak, W Tanager (m, f), TENNESSEE WARBLER (m, singing), a few Wilson's Warblers, Orange-crowned warblers, Audubon's (Y-R) Warblers, W Kingbirds, and Plumbeous and Warbling Vireos. Pretty quiet. Not many sparrows seen along the road either.
