[cobirds] E Phoebe, CSR, El Paso Co, Wed.

Hi COBirders, Banding was unremarkable at Clear Spring Ranch today -just a mix of sparrows, but while checking nets I had a brief visit from an Eastern Phoebe on a cottonwood branch. This was in the CSR area near the sod house, so about a mile-and-a-half from the parking area at Exit 123. Also

As of about 2:30PM, all the notable birds were still visible from the marina sandspit. However, a scope is recommended for good views. Fear not if you lack one as there have been many observers there with scopes and all will (or should) share views with you. For those who somehow missed earlier

Upon further review, the ruling in the field has been overturned. It was an Eared Grebe with an unusually long bill. Better light and ducks for size comparison cleared up the situation early this morning. David Dowell Longmont, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to th
