Re: [cobirds] N Waterthrush #2, CSR, El Paso Co, Saturday

Steve,

I was one of the people that was concerned when a CS Utilities' flyer showed that ground had already been dug at Clear Spring Ranch for a solar array, without public input. Thankfully it turned out to be on the west side of the ​highway.

Unfortunately, after speaking with a few staff members at CSU, and two City Council members (who act as the Utilities board,) the question of whether CSU is required to have public input on their projects remains unanswered.

Now we have to hope that we can keep Pinello Ranch intact.

Thanks for your input, Steve, and enjoy those warblers!

Hi COBirders,

Warblers are migrating. First thing this morning at Clear Spring Ranch I banded my second Northern Waterthrush of the week, and FOS Wilson's Warblers (2), FOS MacGillivray's Warbler,(not unusual per se, but firsts and a little early).  Also had probable migrant Yellow Warblers and Com Yellowthroats. Most of the breeders and young I was seeing last week seem to have vanished!

Last spring some people had expressed interest in CS Utilities plan to build a solar array at Clear Spring Ranch. WHERE????

New signage at Exit 123 shows the project will be WEST of the freeway on CSU land, North of PPI Raceway, so away from the creek and riparian areas. Whew!

Have a birdy weekend,
