Lazuli Buntings, CSR, El Paso Co, Monday

[Steven Brown]

Hey COBirders,

Another good banding day today at Clear Spring Ranch, with 27 new and recaptured migrants. Nothing unusual, but the visitors included more Yellow Warblers, Com Yellowthroats, 2 Mountain White-crowned Sparrows, 3 Gray Catbirds and Yellow-breasted Chats, and 2 FOS Lazuli Buntings, one second year male, and an after-second year female, (banded 8/16)  showing some blue patches.

We’ll see how things “wash out” tomorrow after the severe storms over the site tonight.

Good birding,

Steve Brown
