Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 9/15/22

[Meredith McBurney]

A slow day for mid-season, with only 22 new birds caught (plus 13 birds recaught that were banded earlier this season).  Today's visitors - first an ornithology class from Front Range Community College and then super birders Hugh and Urling Kingery, Nina Routh and Norm Lewis - kept things interesting.  Thanks to all who come out to share the birds with us!

Here is the breakdown of today's new birds:

Mourning Dove 1

Downy Woodpecker 1 (plus we had 2 recaps at the same time)

Western Wood-pewee 2

White-breasted Nuthatch 1 (FOS)

House Wren 1

Blue-grey Gnatcatcher 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 3

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 2

Common Yellowthroat 1

Wilson's Warbler 7

Green-tailed Towhee 1

Song Sparrow 1
