[cobirds] Re: Chico Basin Ranch, El Paso/Pueblo Cos. 5/20

I forgot a couple of other noteworthy birds from today.

At the Headquarters, there was a singing White-winged Dove, and at the banding station, Nick Moore found a first for Chico Basin Ranch of White-throated Swift.  A single bird flying over with swallows just before 11:50am this morning.  All of us were able to photograph it.  According to Bill Maynard, this is 333rd species of bird for Chico Basin Ranch and first new bird this year so far!
