Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Barr Lake Station, 9/22/19

[Meredith McBurney]

The weather was finally so perfect and the human company so enjoyable that we almost didn't care that the banding was still on the slow side.  22 new birds (plus 11 recaps not listed here):

Rock Wren 1

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2

Hermit Thrush 2

Orange-crowned Warbler 4

Wilson's Warbler 8

Green-tailed Towhee 2

Chipping Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

We are open 6 days per week, Tuesday-Sunday, weather permitting, through October 13. We are opening nets at 6:40 and should have birds back at the station by 7:20. We will close nets most days at 11:40, although we are closing earlier as needed due to the heat. 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!
