Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 10/4/23

[meredith]

After a better day yesterday, we were back to the 2023 normal today - just 8 birds banded.  We were hampered by wind, which moved around the station in gusts; we finally gave up and closed early.  We did manage to catch 2 of the Blue Jays that have been around the station all season, taunting us with their various vocalizations.  Here's today's 8:

Blue Jay 2

Hermit Thrush 1

Wilson's Warbler 1

Spotted Towhee 1

Song Sparrow 1

Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 2

If you would like to visit our station, we have one-hour slots (up to 15 visitors at a time) from 7:30-8:30 most weekday mornings (Tues-Fri, we are closed on Mon) and 8, 9, and 10 a.m. one-hour time slots on the weekends.  As long as the heat continues, you are more likely to see birds if you come earlier in the morning.  Click here to make a reservation.
