Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Barr Lake Station, 9/15/17

A slightly cooler and slightly more birdy morning. Caught a Downy Woodpecker banded in 2015.  Three new species for the season - a rare for us Golden-crowned Kinglet (what a cutie!), a late for first arrival Dusky Flycatcher and an early Dark-eyed Junco.  Here's the breakdown of the 22 new birds:

Black-capped Chickadee 2

House Wren 1

Come visit! We are open 6 days per week (CLOSED Mondays), weather permitting, through October 15. We are opening nets at 6:30 and should have birds back at the station before 7:30. We will close most days by about 11:30, earlier now when it is so hot. School groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30.
