Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 10/17/24

[meredith]

Wind did us in today - we were able to open about 2/3rds of our nets at the beginning of the morning, but the wind picked up and the temperature dropped and we finally closed up about 9:30.  Caught just 13 new birds:

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2

Hermit Thrush 1

Clay-colored Sparrow 1

White-throated Sparrow 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 7

Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1

Looks like weather could be a potential problem for the next couple of days - possible wind, cloudy, showers.........We will be open when conditions are safe for the birds.

Weather permitting, we are banding Tuesday through Sunday mornings (closed Mondays).  There is a public session most weekday mornings from 7:30-8:30, and three time slots on weekends, at 8, 9, and 10 a.m.  There is a $7 fee and registration is required – click here to register!

Let me know if you have any questions,
