Nancy Cox of Rio Grande Bird Research sent this report on the first day of banding at Sandia Crest House--
Hi Ken,
The crew was able to newly band 3 Black Rosy-Finches today. They were all males born this year. The crew was also able to recapture a Black that was banded originally in November 2011. He is now more than 4 years old.
The flock of about 25 seems to consist of 1 Hepburn's and then about half Brown-capped and half Blacks. There may be slightly more Blacks than Brown-capped.
It was very windy.
The road is mostly clear with some icy patches at some curves.
Nancy
