[cobirds] RMBO CBR banding Thursday

2013-09-12 Thread Steven Brown
Hi COBirders, More like normal numbers today. We were closed by the wet yesterday, and today it threatened all morning, but we had about half out nets open for most of the morning. After seeing dozens of Wilson's Warblers in the woods and desert brush yesterday, most were gone today. Looks

2013-09-12 Thread Paula Hansley
Today, when the downpour has slowed to a drizzle, I have gone out and heard warbler chips in seemingly every tree in my neighborhood in Louisville. So far, most have been Wilson's. Due to the poor light, I have had many unidentified warblers (?), too. You may not have to get in your car if you

2013-09-12 Thread Peter Burke
COBirders, I ventured out during the letup in the rain today...what a difference from Sunday! Cottonwood Marsh was nearly dry on Sunday and today is full to overflowing. The road on the west side of the wetland is completely washed out, and water is cascading down like a miniature Niagra Falls!
