Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Roger's Grove Park, Longmont, Boulder Co. 5/14 and 5/16

[Colin Woolley]

We had two slower days this week at Roger's Grove Park, with warmer weather forcing an early close on Tuesday and a bit of a lull in migrant activity today. Highlights this week were our first empid, a Least Flycatcher, and a Northern Flicker that was mostly 'Red-shafted' but showed some intergrade traits including some red on the nape. 

Here are the daily totals:

Tuesday (5/14/2019)

House Wren: 1

Common Yellowthroat: 1

Least Flycatcher: 1

Black-capped Chickadee: 1

'Myrtle' Yellow-rumped Warbler: 1

American Robin: 1

Thursday (5/16/2019)

House Wren: 2

Black-capped Chickadee: 1

Yellow Warbler: 1

American Robin: 2

Northern Flicker intergrade: 1 

The Roger's Grove Park banding station is open only on TUES and THURS during May, weather permitting. Next week we'll be opening nets around 6:00 and back at the station by 6:45. We'll close the nets by 11:00, though may have birds to band until 11:15. We often have visiting groups at about 9:00, though all are welcome throughout the morning. 

Come visit!
