Spent a nice morning with the birds and the CSU Ornithology Club. 30 birds caught for the first time this season:

House Wren 4 new, 1 banded in 2014

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

We are open 6 days each week, weather permitting, through October 16.We are closed every Monday in September, then October 4 and 12. We are opening nets at about 6:30 a.m. and we start closing between 11 a.m. and 12 noon.  We will open later and/or close earlier if it is very hot, very cold, wet, windy, etc. There are school groups most weekday mornings, usually arriving around 9:30. Best times to visit, if you like lots of birds and fewer humans, are early mornings during the week and Sundays.
