Hey COBirders,
No rarities to report today from Clear Spring Ranch, but birds did arrive in a big way just after dawn. Waves of sparrows could be seen coming over the fields, and into the brush, (and my nets). I had
125 birds in bags in less than 90 minutes.
The big number was Chipping Sparrows (no surprise - when they come in, they come in together!) 108 banded. Also 10 Clay-colored Sparrows, 2 Brewers Sparrows,
6 Lark Sparrows, 4 Savannah Sparrows, 4 Lincoln/s Sparrows, a Green-tailed Towhee, and only a handful of Yellow and Wilson’s warblers. Today was for Sparrows.
148 birds banded today. Whew.
Happy Migration,
