[cobirds] Banding, Alder Flycatcher, CSR, El Paso Co, Mon

Hi COBirders,

This morning was cool, calm, and clear - very nice, and there was a good arrival especially of small birds that lasted until about 1030. 43 birds banded of 15 species, 24 warblers, my best banding day of the year. Early it was all warblers and flycatchers, and later more of the bigger birds started to show up.

Including:

W Wood Pewee, 2 AD

Willow Flycatcher, 2 SY (Second Year)

Alder Flycatcher, SY

Gray Catbird, 2 - Ad & SY

Brown Thrasher, Ad M (with a HUGE cloacal protuberance!  - that means he packing a lot of sperm)

Yellow-breasted Chat, 2 SY

Lincoln's Sparrow, 3 SY

MacGillivray's Warbler, 2 SY F, 3 SY M

Com Yellowthroat, SY F, 2 SY M

Yellow Warbler, 7 SY M, 5 SY F

Wilson's Warbler, 3 SY M, 1 SY F

Bullock's Oriole, Ad M, Ad F, SY M

Yeah, this is fun.
