Here is Nancy Cox's report:
Sandia Crest House Rosy-Finch Banding Project December 11, 2016
Thirteen Rio Grande Bird Research (RGBR) volunteers arrived to a very foggy and windy Crest House to help with the Rosy-Finch Banding project today.
RGBR banded 26 individual Rosy-Finches: 10 Blacks, 12 Brown-capped, and 4 Gray-crowned (3 interior race and 1 Hepburn’s). We also recaptured two Blacks. One was from the 2015/2016 season. We saw several other previously banded Blacks.
We estimated the number of Rosy-Finches flying around to be at least 80. There are about 36 Blacks, 36 Brown-capped, and 8 Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches.
The road was mostly clear with just a few icy spots near the top.
Our next banding session will be in January 2017. Watch this page for the next date.
