[cobirds] RMBO Banding at Chico Basin Ranch, El Paso Co.

Spring migration bird banding at Chico Basin Ranch (fee area) commenced on Wed. April 23rd.   We have banded 90 individuals of 17 species thus far.   It's been just the usual cast of characters for April, except for a Gray Flycatcher on the 24th - we rarely get these in spring (only four since 2002).  No Long-eared Owls seen or banded yet - unusual compared to the past three years.  It was too windy to open nets this morning.
