Townsend's Warbler, RN Sapsucker, CSR, El Paso Co, Thur

[Steven Brown]

Hi COBirders,

There was a good migrant arrival at dawn this morning, at Clear Spring Ranch. Frenetically feeding in a couple of tamarisks were several Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Audubon’s Yellow-rumped Warblers, and a male Townsend’s Warbler (FOS). Later the snag was visited by a male Red-naped Sapsucker.  Of course, all of these stayed ABOVE my nets, but I had a good morning of banding sparrows and a male Com Yellowthroat, nonetheless. 

Good birding,

Steve Brown
