6F at 7am. Looks like a system is rolling in over the mtns.
Derek and I spent the day in town looking for new nests.
I finally found the new '05 Green Mtn. nest that I had been looking for by the fairgrounds. I confirmed that pairs were back at the Bickner and the Creekside nests. Derek found three new unknown nests on the east side of town.
Derek and I both got band reads from birds at Sidewinders this morning. About 75 birds were hanging around the dumpster. Band reads were Orange T, e, and J, and Silver inverted 2. All of the orange birds were from the two recent big captures in spring gulch and the silver band was a bird we caught back in Nov at the Gros Ventre campground. Interestingly, that bird had the highest lead count we ever saw, and Derek said the bird was top dog of the group.
