Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report 8/27/25

[meredith]

A dense, soupy fog covered Barr Lake and the surrounding area when we arrived this morning; it took several hours for it to burn off.......I think the sun started to come out about 10 a.m.  We opened most nets late, and even in a good season would probably not have caught many birds.  As it is........only 6 new birds today:

Willow Flycatcher 1

Western Flycatcher 1

Yellow Warbler 3

Common Yellowthroat 1

Sigh........

Our visitor hours: Weekends we will run 3 sessions, at 8, 9, and 10 a.m.  Weekdays (Tues through Fri) there will be 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.
