COBirders, Today my boys and I made a trip out to Ramah SWA, northeast El Paso county. We were mostly looking for bugs but still managed to look at a few birds. The highlights were THREE (that is a lot for El Paso county) BALTIMORE ORIOLEs. Two adult males and then a third female type bird. The other real highlight as for me it is only the second I have ever seen in the county was a FIELD SPARROW. There were about 20 CLAY-COLORED SPARROWs and a single CHIPPING SPARROW. Undoubtedly there were more than just that single Chipping but that is all I saw. We also had an Archilochus species but just did not get a good enough look at it and no chance to photograph it. All of this was in the afternoon. Not much else of interest but I suspect timing and lack of concentrating on the birds played a part in that.
