Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Barr Lake Station, 9/18/16

[meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

When our first run of the morning consisted of 5 recaps and only 1 new bird, we knew we were likely in for a slow day.  Apparently little moved in over the past 24 hours.  The weather was cool to start, but heated up quickly, and we did an early close.  Total new birds for the day was 14 (we had 15 recaps):

House Wren 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 4

Wilson's Warbler 9

WE ARE CLOSED TOMORROW - MONDAY.  We are open 6 days each week, weather permitting, through October 16.We are closed every Monday in September, then October 4 and 12. We are opening nets at about 6:30 a.m. and we start closing between 11 a.m. and 12 noon. 

We will open later and/or close earlier if it is very hot, very cold, wet, windy, etc. There are school groups most weekday mornings, usually arriving around 9:30. Best times to visit, if you like lots of birds and fewer humans, are early mornings during the week and Sundays.
