[cobirds] BG Gnatcatchers, CSM, El Paso Co, Monday

Hi COBirders,

A new season at Clear Spring Ranch banding started today. It was cold, thick, low ceiling, winds from the SE, so..… perfect for migration!

I had a ranch high 8 Blue-gray Gnatcatchers banded today(!), 6 m, 2 f, plus:
7 Orange-crowned Warblers
1 Virginia's Warbler Second year (SY) Male
3 Yellow-rumped Warblers banded (plus many more up high), 2 SY (m/f) Audubon's, and 1 SYM Myrtle - and the males were spankin' !
1 Com Yellowthroat SYF
5 House Wrens
6 Lincoln's Sparrows (a lot for this early)
2 Brown Thrashers (ad)
1 Spotted Towhee SYM

plus 1 Song Sparrow recapture from 10/2015.

As I've mentioned before 30 birds is a real good morning for me, so not a bad opening!

I plan to be out there most mornings through May, weather permitting of course. Maybe tomorrow. More soon,

Steve Brown
