Hi COBirders, Almost no birds around at sunrise, only a handful banded by 9am, a bunch of Chipping Sparrows about 11am, then all of a sudden we had 42 banded birds by closing. Since when do birds get active only after it gets hot?
No banding tomorrow, we'll resume Monday 9/12. Banded today OVENBIRD recaptured from yesterday W Wood Pewee - 3 Dusky Flycatcher - 2 Cordilleran Flycatcher - 1 House Wren - 1 Am Robin - 3 Gray Catbird - 2 Brown Thrasher - 2 Wilson's Warbler - 12 Chipping Sparrow - 12 Lazuli Bunting - 4 all young birds Notes : lots of WIWA's yesterday - fewer today. Few flycatchers yesterday, more today, and lots of pewees. Large flocks of Chipping Sparrows moving around the grove late in the morning every day this week. We're hoping for a weather change that brings in more diversity - it has been calm all week (at CBR?) Have a birdy weekend, Steve Brown Colorado Springs for Julie Webber, RMBO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
