Hi Cobirders Stepping out the front door of the Casita I knew it would be a good day. Immediately I heard Wilson's Warblers and sparrows chipping all over the place. Our first net run would bear this out, 57 birds in the bag (one over-achieving net had 22 birds)! We ended the day with 146 birds banded of 16 species. We discovered the roost of one of the local Barn Owls inadvertently. The white splatter that narrowly missed us indicated we should look up (with mouths closed). Our most interesting catch was a Mountain Chickadee, not annual out here on the ranch.
Front range folks might try moonwatching tonight, Steve Brown has been seeing some light traffic for a few days now, usually after 9pm. Today's birds might liftoff earlier though.
