Hi COBirders, Another slow day at CBR - and I'm ready for a weather change. It had just finished raining when we opened nets at 7:00, and could hear a lot of birds, and see a variety in the treetops - but that was about it. 8 new birds banded today. At least three Sharp-shinned Hawks were back at it - alternately terrorizing the flickers, and being mobbed by them. One was briefly caught by the toe in a net , but made his escape.
Highlight of the day (and week) - BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER (HY m) was caught about 9am in the Holmes grove. New Banded Birds: Orange-crowned Warbler - 3 (all males) Black-and-White Warbler (HY m) Golden-crowned Kinglet (ad f) Hermit Thrush (ad) White-crowned Sparrow (HY) Lazuli Bunting (HY) Remember CBR is closed tomorrow (Sat 9/26) for banding and birding due to a family event on the ranch. Regular banding schedule next week - Mon - Sat 10/3.
