Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Banding Report - Grand Valley Audubon Society, 10/7/19

[Vicki Morgan]

Today was slower than normal, with a cold morning and steady winds hampering our banding efforts.  Sparrows once again dominated, making up 8 out of the 11 birds captured.

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1

White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel's) 4 new 2 recapture

White-crowned Sparrow (Mountain) 2

Spotted Towhee 1

Juniper Titmouse 1 recapture

Visitors are welcome at the banding station - we start getting birds at around 7:45 and close around 11:30, weather permitting.  Banding goes until this friday the 11th.  A front that is expected to move through on Wed/Thurs may interfere with banding on those days.  School groups arrive at around 9:30, so if you would like to visit it's best to arrive before then!
