[cobirds] Prothonotary Warbler - El Paso County

COBirders,

 

A golden swamp warbler was caught and banded at the Bird Conservatory of the Rockies/Chico Basin Ranch banding station in El Paso County (fee area). It was captured inside the exclosure in the net lane closest to the large willow by a small spring.  

 

Also caught was a male Red-naped Sapsucker and a Cassin’s Vireo was fussing in the wooded area. Junco, Song Sparrow, and White-crowned Sparrow numbers were on the rise. Hermit and Swainson’s thrushes were banded.
