Hey COBirders,

There was a good arrival of smaller passerines today at Clear Spring Ranch banding.  Lotsa Orange-crowned Warblers, Yellow Warblers, Com Yellowthroat, Lincoln’s, Chipping, Clay-colored and White-crowned Sparrows, and a few singles of Myrtle Warbler, YB Chat, and Dusky Flycatcher.

Highlight species today included another Northern Waterthrush, the 4th here this month, an FOY Least Flycatcher,, and a FOY/FE (first ever) Field Sparrow for me banding (and my first seen at CSR.) Photos available.

65 birds today!

Happy Migration,

Steve Brown
