Hey COBirders, After two days missed for steady rain at Clear Spring Ranch, today was still wet, but just foggy and misty, and banding resumed. Many Wilson’s and Orange-crowned Warblers were caught at dawn, and a mix of other migrants. None rare, many unusual. Then after a lull, another wave arrived about 10:30, composed mostly of Spizella sp., RC Kinglets, White-crowned Sparrows, Warbling Vireo, and a very late Lazuli Bunting (HY, F). 90 birds banded today.
Warbling Vireo Mountain Chickadee (2 more - now 7, I had never had ANY previously!) Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 2 Orange-crowned Warbler 9 Audubon’s YR Warbler Wilson’s Warbler, 17 Chipping Sparrow, 32 Brewer’s Sparrow, 2 Clay-colored Sparrow, 5 Vesper Sparrow Gambell’s WC Sparrow, 7 Mountain WC Sparrow (FOS) Song Sparrow, 3 Lincolns Sparrow, 3 Spotted Towhee, 3 Lazuli Bunting A pretty good mix. The low ceiling continued all morning, with a light SW breeze.I was still catching some birds at 1245, but was getting pretty tired by that point. Tomorrow…. Happy Migration, Steve Brown Colo Spgs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
