Hey COBirders, No rarities to report today from Clear Spring Ranch, but birds did arrive in a big way just after dawn. Waves of sparrows could be seen coming over the fields, and into the brush, (and my nets). I had 125 birds in bags in less than 90 minutes.
The big number was Chipping Sparrows (no surprise - when they come in, they come in together!) 108 banded. Also 10 Clay-colored Sparrows, 2 Brewers Sparrows, 6 Lark Sparrows, 4 Savannah Sparrows, 4 Lincoln/s Sparrows, a Green-tailed Towhee, and only a handful of Yellow and Wilson’s warblers. Today was for Sparrows. 148 birds banded today. Whew. Happy Migration, Steve Brown Colo SPgs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
