Banding station near Florence, CO
Following is the report from a banding station set up about 20 miles from Canon City by a retired ornithologist who recently moved to the area:
I have moved to about 7 mi SSW of Florence, Fremont Co., and have begun to
set up a new banding station in Pinyon Pine/Juniper/Scrub Oak and
Grassland, not too far from a permanent but very small stream. On October
24 I had 8 nets up from about 12:50 to 16:30.
