E Phoebe, CSR, El Paso Co, Sunday

[Steven Brown]

Hey COBirders,

A slow, misty day banding at Clear Spring Ranch today, but the late fall birds are starting to make an appearance; 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and 2 adult Gambell’s White-crowned Sparrows were banded today, (and more Wilson’s Warblers and Chipping Sparrows).

Bird of the day was a juv Eastern Phoebe that flirted with the nets for 15 minutes, but managed not to be netted. Close views and lotsa tail bobbing (but the camera was in the car staying dry!)

Stay Dry,

Steve Brown
