[cobirds] CBR, El Paso Co, Thursday - Philadelphia Vireo

Hi COBirders,

full report to follow,

Yup, we did it again.  Another real slow day at Chico Basin Ranch, then about 11am we banded a Philadelphia Vireo (hatch-year, sex unknown), and a Blackpoll Warbler (also hatch-year, sex unknown). Total new birds banded - about 14.  Also several Hermit Thrush, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and Wilson's Warblers.

There were some other warblers around - not caught - including Yellow-rumped - (possibly Myrtle), and Townsend's. We think the Black-throated Blues are gone.

Even with the unsettled weather, we're not seeing "fallouts" or lots of birds at dawn, as much as "late arrivals", new birds coming in between 10:00 and 12:00.  Weird.

Good birding,
