Hey COBirders, LOL - Yup SIX more Northern Waterthrush were banded at Clear Spring Ranch - one Saturday, and 5 Sunday. That makes 13 for the season. Unbelievable.
It was a perfect morning for bird movement - high fog, Southeast breeze, cool temp, and the banding reflected that. 24 birds were caught in the first hour, and 58 total for the morning, of 24 species.. Highlights - Black-chinned Hummingbird M,F, netted, but unbanded Broad-tailed HB, F, same Gray Catbird - 5 Virginia’s Warbler - (SY M) MacGillivray’s Warbler - Ad M Yellow Warbler - 5 Lincoln’s Sparrow - 5 Mountain White-crowned Sparrow Green-tailed Towhee FOS Bullock’s Orioles (Ad F, SY M) Lazuli Bunting (SY M) Clay-colored Sparrow Chipping Sparrow - 12 Dusky Flycatcher Hermit Thrush Yellow-breasted Chat - 3 - SY M, 2 AD M In addition I had a pair of Belted Kingfishers flyover, and just missed netting a “spanking” male Indigo Bunting. Lots of same-species chasing , and lots of Brown-headed Cowbirds following. A pretty good morning!
