Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Banding Report - Barr Lake, 10/12/19

[Meredith McBurney]

On a morning that started quite chilly but became very nice as the sun rose in the sky, we caught 21 new birds:

Blue Jay 1

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 9

Hermit Thrush 1

Spotted Towhee 1

Chipping Sparrow 3

Song Sparrow 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1

Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 3

Tomorrow (Sunday) is our last day this fall! We are anticipating another chilly but sunny day, with a few more of the late fall migrants we've been catching in recent days, and perhaps another "big bird" or two - Jay, Flicker, maybe a Hawk?!  We plan to open at 7:40 and have birds back at the station by about 8:30. We will start taking down the station at 11:40 or earlier if we run out of birds or have weather problems.
