From Nancy Cox of the Banding Team--
Sandia Crest House Rosy-Finch Banding Project December 4, 2016
Today, nine Rio Grande Bird Research (RGBR) volunteers kicked off the 2016-2017 Rosy-Finch Project by banding 7 individual Rosy-Finches: 3 Blacks, 3 Brown-capped, and 1 Gray-crowned (interior race).
We estimated the number of Rosy-Finches flying around to be 35. We saw at least two previously banded Blacks and one previously banded Brown-capped. We did not capture any of these previously banded birds. There was at least one Hepburn’s race of the Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch.
The road was mostly clear with just a few icy spots near the top.
We plan to be up again on Sunday December 11 before we break for the Christmas Bird Count season.
