Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 8/25/22

[Meredith McBurney]

Yellow Warblers and House Wrens continue to dominate our captures, as we banded another 48 birds this morning.   Here's today's list:

Mourning Dove 1 (This was our 6th of the season, close to a record number.  Two adults and four hatch year birds, two of which were so young they could have flown straight from the nest into our nets.  All caught in essentially the same area.)

Downy Woodpecker 2 (an adult female and a young male, caught together)

Western Wood-pewee 3

Cassin's Vireo 1

House Wren 12

Yellow Warbler 23

Common Yellowthroat 3

Wilson's Warbler 1

Yellow-breasted Chat 1

Clay-colored Sparrow 1
