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.

>Ruby-crowned Kinglet = 1
>Bushtit = 10 plus one repeat banded in August
>Oregon Junco = 9
>Pink-sided Junco = 4
>Gray-headed Junco = 1
>Slate-colored Junco = 1
>Mountain Chickadee = 1
>Spotted Towhee = 1
