Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 10-6-22

[Meredith McBurney]

Fall is here -  cold in the early morning and then warm but not hot by the time we are closing 5 hours later.  Means sparrows early on and then Yellow-rumped Warblers on the last couple of runs.  And pretty slow in between.  Here's a breakdown of today's 21 new birds (we also caught 15 birds that had been banded earlier this season):

Blue Jay 1 (FOS)

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 9

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 3

Common Yellowthroat 1

Spotted Towhee 1

Clay-colored Sparrow 1

Song Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 2

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 2

If you'd like to enjoy fall birds up close and personal, please come visit!  You do need a reservation - just click here! we are offering one-hour slots (up to 15 visitors at a time) from 7:30-8:30 most weekdays (closed Mondays), and 8-9, 9-10, and 10-11 on weekends.
