[meredith]

We caught 31 new birds today (banded 29 plus 2 returns), only our first day over 30 in this slow season.  Two new species - a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and a return Robin that we first caught during a demo at the Nature Center in June of 2022 and hadn't seen again until now.  Here's the breakdown for the day:

Western Wood-pewee 1

Northern House Wren 1 new, 1 banded 2024

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1

American Robin 1

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 2

Wilson's Warbler 21

Song Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Come visit!  Our visitor hours: Weekends we are running 3 sessions, at 8, 9, and 10 a.m.  Most weekdays (Tues through Fri) there is a 7:30 to 8:30 session.   These are small group sessions (15 or fewer visitors), and a great way to learn more about the species that move through the front range in the fall.  There is a $7 fee and registration is required - click here to register.
