A very quiet day at the banding station. Aiken Audubon had a birding trip to the Ranch today. It is always nice to have folks stop by. The highlights for us were Say's Phoebe and the Ovenbird. Forty-five new birds including nine species were banded today. Apparently the birds are continuing on

Great to hear about the Evening Grosbeak. Perhaps connected to that occurrence somehow, I had 5 different flocks of Evening Grosbeaks flying and feeding near my Ken Caryl Valley home this morning, totalling over 50 birds. This is exceptional for Ken Caryl in May, and generally so to have multiple

In the Facebook Colorado Rare Bird Alert group there are some photos and it says the bird was seen in Baca County. Is that a state or county record? Diana Beatty El Paso County On Wed, May 3, 2023 at 12:42 PM Sebastian Patti wrote: > Wow . . . > > any additional information is appreciated .
