Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Lake Banding Report, 9/23/21

[Meredith McBurney]

We started the morning with a first (and perhaps only) of season Blue-grey Gnatcatcher and ended with a hybrid Black-capped/Mountain Chickadee.  In between, we had what is becoming our standard 20 something mix of mostly warblers and sparrows, although there was a late Hammond's Flycatcher to spice things up.  Here's the breakdown of today's 26 new birds:

Hammond's Flycatcher 1

Hybrid Black-capped/Mountain Chickadee 1

House Wren 3

Blue-grey Gnatcatcher 1

Hermit Thrush 2

Orange-crowned Warbler 4

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1

Wilson's Warbler 6

Green-tailed Towhee 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 4

Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1
