Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 10-1-22

[Meredith McBurney]

The "late afternoon showers"  yesterday started in Brighton about 3 p.m. and did not end until after 6 a.m. this morning.  Any birds that could leave yesterday did so, and apparently nothing new arrived.  We banded just 10 new birds this morning, and caught 10 others that we had banded sometime in the last week.  But we had a fair number of first time visitors today, who enjoyed learning the basics of warblers, sparrows and a few other species.  Here are today's 10 new:

Gray Catbird 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 3

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 1

Green-tailed Towhee 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 3

If you'd like to enjoy fall birds up close and personal, please come visit!  You do need a reservation - just click here! we are offering one-hour slots (up to 15 visitors at a time) from 7:30-8:30 most weekdays (closed Mondays), and 8-9, 9-10, and 10-11 on weekends.
