Hi COBirders,
Today was my first day of banding for the spring season 2016 at CSR. I only caught three birds today, (it is early), but migrants are definitely arriving and moving through.
Banded today: ROCK WREN (second year bird, sex undetermined - I only rarely get these)
Common Yellowthroat (male, adult/after second year)
Lincoln's Sparrow (unsexed, second year)
Also seen: BROAD-WINGED HAWK, Swainson's Hawk, 25 White-faced Ibis, Gadwall and Mallard in the flooded field, Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and lotsa Red-winged Blackbirds, Common and Great-tailed Grackles, White-crowned Sparrows, and W Meadowlark.
Road and trails are pretty muddy with adhesive clay, and concrete construction continues at Little Fountain Creek.
Happy Migration,
Steve Brown
