Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 9/19/22

[Meredith McBurney]

Nicely cool and busy early on, then it heated up quickly, we closed the nets in the sun, and birding activity slowed significantly.  Looking forward to cooler weather tomorrow (and hoping it doesn't rain until we are done!)  Here's the breakdown of the 53 news birds:

Mourning Dove 1

House Wren 3 new, 1 banded last year

Orange-crowned Warbler 6

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 11

Common Yellowthroat 2

Wilson's Warbler 24

Spotted Towhee 1

Green-tailed Towhee 1

Clay-colored Sparrow 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 2
