Indigo Bunting, et. al, CSR, El Paso Co, Mon

[Steven Brown]

Hey again, COBIrders,

I was ready for a blow-out this morning, at Clear Spring Ranch, but that didn’t materialize. Rain did, about 9:30. But before that, it was epic.  Branson P. suggested with the two rare warblers at Chico Basin early this morning that today might be a fallout day. It was for me, 20 miles away. 95 birds banded before I had to close.  The last 25 birds were banded under my tarp in a downpour!
