Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Lake Banding Report, 9/18/21

[Meredith McBurney]

As our slow pace continues, we saw somewhat fewer warblers and a few more sparrows.  Enjoyed a nice young White-throated Sparrow, which we could compare with a similar aged White-crowned.  Also caught one of the noisy Starlings that hang out high up in a dead tree near the banding station; nice to get an up close look at this very common but quite beautiful, personality-plus species. Here's the breakdown of today's 22 new birds:

House Wren 2

Hermit Thrush 2

European Starling 1

Yellow Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 2

Wilson's Warbler 8

Song Sparrow 3

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

White-throated Sparrow 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1
