Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Barr Lake Station, 9/21/18

[Meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

Our first really slow day this season.  Wind started up about 8:30 and grew as the morning went on and that didn't help, but even before the wind it seemed very quiet.  Only 15 new birds today:

House Wren 1

Hermit Thrush 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

Wilson's Warbler 2

Yellow-breasted Chat 1

Chipping Sparrow 4

Song Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1

We are open 6 days per week, Tuesday-Sunday, weather permitting, through October 14. We are opening nets at 6:30 and should have birds back at the station by 7:15. We will close most days by about 11:30, earlier as long as this heat continues. School groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30. The best time to visit (fewest people, most birds) is before 9:30 weekdays and Sundays. 

 

Come visit!
