Hi COBirders, Today was the first official day for RMBO bird banding at CBR, El Paso Co side. Along with 80 4th graders, we got SLAMMED by an arrival of sparrows about 930. Over a 200 m front we probably had 75 birds in nets at the same time. With this influx we tallied about 125 birds caught today. The big flock was mostly composed of Chipping and Brewer's Sparrows. We don't recall having more than a handful of Brewer's Sparrows in a SEASON, and we probably had over 25 today.
Other than that, we had several Wilson's, Yellow, Orange-crowned, and MacGillivray's Warblers, Swainson's Thrush, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, YB Chat, and several W Wood-Pewees. Operations are running six days/week, M-Sat, through October 5.
