I spent the day volunteering as a flusher for a sparrow banding project on the San Rafael Grasslands, car pooling from Tucson with Homer Hanson, chairman of the Wings over Willcox festival. In all we spent eight hours in the field and banded 7 Grasshopper, 1 Savannah and 2 Vesper Sparrows but I dipped on the hoped for Baird’s Sparrow. I added three species to my year’s list ending with a total of 104 species for 2011.
