Nancy Cox's report from the Banding Team)

Sandia Crest Rosy-Finch banding project report February 18, 2017

Today we newly banded 9 more Brown-capped Rosy-Finches.  We captured 30 Brown-caps that we had previously banded.  We also had 3 Black Rosy-Finches that were previously banded.  Two of them were originally banded in December 2015.

We saw about 200 Rosy-Finches in 3 flocks.  There were mainly Brown-capped with a few Blacks and a few Gray-crowned.

The road was mostly clear.  However, 4 – 9” of snow is predicted in the mountains for tonight and tomorrow.  We are still planning to band tomorrow.  

Thanks to the 4 volunteers we had today.
