Hi COBirders, A new season at Clear Spring Ranch banding started today. It was cold, thick, low ceiling, winds from the SE, so..… perfect for migration!
I had a ranch high 8 Blue-gray Gnatcatchers banded today(!), 6 m, 2 f, plus: 7 Orange-crowned Warblers 1 Virginia’s Warbler Second year (SY) Male 3 Yellow-rumped Warblers banded (plus many more up high), 2 SY (m/f) Audubon’s, and 1 SYM Myrtle - and the males were spankin’ ! 1 Com Yellowthroat SYF 5 House Wrens 6 Lincoln’s Sparrows (a lot for this early) 2 Brown Thrashers (ad) 1 Spotted Towhee SYM plus 1 Song Sparrow recapture from 10/2015. As I’ve mentioned before 30 birds is a real good morning for me, so not a bad opening! I plan to be out there most mornings through May, weather permitting of course. Maybe tomorrow. More soon, Steve Brown Colo Spgs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
