Hey COBIrders,
Nothing really unusual at Clear Spring Ranch banding this morning, but there was a small arrival, and several FOS’s.
FOS Western Wood-pewee - earliest seen in last 5 springs I’ve been banding here.
FOS Gray Catbird (and was banded by a different group at CSR prior to 2016)
FOS MacGillivray’s Warbler (ad M) - earliest one banded at CSR in 5 years
FOS Female Com Yellowthroat - all those seen and banded previously were males.
FOS Killdeer - really not rare, but it was the first
Still haven’t seen a female Yellow Warbler - just singing and chasing males so far.
Good birding,
Steve Brown
