[cobirds] Clear Springs Ranch, El Paso Co., Monday

Hi COBirders,

Banding Report for CSR, Monday 5/5/14.

Warm, breezy, and a turnover in birds overnight. Many smaller birds today, although I caught less than yesterday.

Banded today, 14 new birds:

Yellow Warbler (FOS) 2 Ad m

Orange-crowned Warbler 2 Ad m, 1 SY (second-year) m, 

WIlson's Warbler, 1 Ad m, 1 SY m, 1 SY f

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, SY m

Hermit Thrush, Ad

Brown Thrasher, Ad m

Lincoln's Sparrow, 2 Ad, 1 SY

Also seen circling, about 15 White-faced Ibis. We've seen over 150 in the last three days, and  2 Tom turkeys displaying to at least 3 somewhat-interested hens.

And, an out-of-range bird from yesterday that I forgot - Sunday I banded a SY Pygmy Nuthatch!

Happy Migration,

Steve Brown
