Hi COBirders,
I caught and banded a pair of adult Evening Grosbeaks in my yard today, NW COS, Mountain Shadows. There has been a flock in the area intermittently for a couple weeks, but these are the first I've had a chance to handle. There were six here, at the same time, last weekend.
Also, I banded 5 more Cassin's Finches today, making a total of 81 this season. Almost all are young birds, so un-sexable, except for one young male with a handful of pink/red feathers scattered around the body. The irruption continues!
