Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Barr Lake Station, 9/4/18

[Meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

Lots of activity today - even with a brief closing mid-morning for wind, we banded 77 birds.  Like Ira Sander's front yard, we had our first Nashville Warbler and Green-tailed Towhee today, plus a lovely Ovenbird.  Here's the breakdown of the 77 new:

Western Wood Pewee 1

House Wren 4

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 8

Nashville Warbler 1

Yellow Warbler 5

Townsend's Warbler 1

Ovenbird 1

Common Yellowthroat 3

Wilson's Warbler 48

Green-tailed Towhee 1

Chipping Sparrow 1

Song Sparrow 2

We will be open 6 days per week (closed Mondays), weather permitting, through October 14. We are opening nets at 6:30 and should have birds back at the station by 7:15. We will close most days by about 11:30 (closing earlier now because of heat). School groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30. The best time to visit (fewest people, most birds) is before 9:30 weekdays and Sundays.

Come visit!
