Hey COBirders, Things have been kind of slow for banding at Clear Spring Ranch, with 18 birds Thursday and only 16 on Friday. A few have been migrants, like MacGillivray’s and Wilson’s Warblers, Swainson’s Thrush, and a few flycatchers, but most appear to be settling in for local nesting attempts.
One obvious difference was a Northern Parula banded this morning (SY M), FOY and my first banded ever. (photo below) A real nice surprise! Also banded, often seen, but rarely caught, an Eastern Kingbird (Ad F), part of a pair that have visited the area daily for a couple of weeks. I usually close up banding activity at CSR around 6/1, but with the apparent lateness of migration for many species this month, I thought I might stay open a little longer to see what happens. Maybe after the last two days I'm getting the answer! Have a safe weekend, Steve Brown Colo Spgs -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
