RMBO Ridgway Banding Report 9/15 and 9/16

[Amber West]

The last two days of banding in Ridgway State Park were very slo.  On the 15th we banded 6 birds and on the 16th we banded 6 as well, with our only new species being a House Wren.  However, we did have birds for each of the groups of schoolchildren that came by, which was good.

Breakdown of new captures, 9/15:

Gray Catbird - 1

Orange-crowned Warbler - 3

Western Tanager - 1

Song Sparrow - 1

Breakdown of new captures, 9/16:

Black-capped Chickadee - 1

House Wren - 1

American Robin - 1

Western Tanager - 1

Song Sparrow - 1

Lincoln's Sparrow - 1

As this completes the Ridgway banding station, I will be banding for the next four weeks out of Grand Junction, at Connected Lakes State Park, in coordination with Grand Valley Audubon Society.
