Hi COBirders, I just had a good surprise, a pair of adult Evening Grosbeaks in my yard mist net, and another two watching closely from a nearby tree. This is only the third time I've had this species in my yard in NW COS in 30 years, and never in spring. The two netted ones I banded.
Also, yesterday I caught my FOS Lincoln's Sparrow in the yard, only the 5th I've seen here, and 2nd banded. I still have a handful of mixed juncos around, all new ones, and not among the winter residents I already banded. Birds are moving! (And for those interested, I plan to resume banding operations at Clear Spring Ranch around 4/30.)
