Hey COBirders, It has been pretty slow banding at Clear Spring Ranch since the eclipse. Mostly I’m catching local hatch-year birds, and only a few migrants. Lately I’ve caught several juv chickadees, chats, and catbirds, today a very brown and streaked HY Spotted Towhee, and a W Wood-Pewee that somehow fluttered into a net even though it had a 15mm tail, and wings a full cm shorter than they are supposed to be. Lots of growing still to do!
Today I only caught one Spizella sparrow, an adult Brewer’s Sparrow; I have only banded a handful of these at CSR, for some reason. Also Yellow Warbler #55 for the season, a new year high, and a FOS MacGillivray’s Warbler (HY female). (Hoping for a weather change, soon!)
