[cobirds] CSR, El Paso Co, Saturday

Hey COBirders, Today was my first day for banding at Clear Spring Ranch in 2017. I had hoped the low ceiling, mist and SE breeze might deliver some migrants, and that happened, but not really until I was closing at about 1030. The only real migrants to appear were 3 Lincoln’s Sparrows

[cobirds] Birds at Boyd Lake S.P., Loveland

I went this noon to Boyd Lake State Park to find some of the birds that Andy Bankert had reported. I did not travel the 1/4 mile north of the northern-most parking lot so I did not find the flock of peeps nor the Willets or Godwit or the Dowitchers. I did find 4 Long-billed Curlews and 3
