[cobirds] Canyon Towhee, CSR, El Paso Co., Mon

Hey Cobirders,

It was very active early at Clear Spring Ranch banding today, then got hot and slowed down considerably. Only 17 banded today…… that weren't Chipping Sparrows. A large flock  of 40 hit the nets at the same time - then a few more filtered in over the next couple of hours. Whew. Total birds today 71.

Best new birds - although not rare - were a FOS HY Canyon Towhee, and a FOS HY Vesper Sparrow, a late Lazuli Bunting (HYF), an early Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and the ubiquitous Wilson's Warblers - up to 110 for the season now.

Have a good afternoon. Go Broncos.
