I got back in town around noon. After arriving in Kelly, Derek and I stopped to glass a few ravens that were hanging out. We got band reads on all three birds (of 9) that were banded. P/9 had been banded in Kelly last winter and not seen since. C/5 was banded during the '04 hunting season and seen last spring in Spring Gulch and in June behind Bubbas. B/A was definitely paired with another bird (both had horns to end that debate), and is likely going to breed near Kelly.
Starlings were going in and out of a nest box. A crow was on the office. Bluebirds and red-wings are coming back in increasing numbers every day since this weekend. Goldfinches are getting breeding plumage. Juncos are back. The dippers are displaying.
