Hi COBirders, This was the last scheduled day for RMBO banding operations at the ranch, and it was an average day. The storms last night didn't seem to create a big turnover of birds - maybe they were held up south of here by those storms. We did see more of the Swainson's Thrush/ Lincoln's Sparrow arrivals, but few warblers. 42 new birds banded today.
Seen around the banding station - Ash-throated Flycatcher, Cedar Waxwings, Blue Grosbeak, Peregrine Falcon W Wood-Pewee. Seen along the road in - Lark Bunting, Loggerhead Shrike, N Mockingbird, Scaled Quail, Swainson's Hawk, Horned Lark, W Kingbird, W Meadowlark.
