Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Lake Banding Report, 9/24/21

[Colin Woolley]

We had another fairly slow morning at Barr Lake today, with the usual mix of sparrows and warblers that we expect in late September. The highlight was a dainty Clay-colored Sparrow, not the first of the season but definitely a species we don't see a lot of. Here is the breakdown of our 16 newly banded birds of 7 species.

House Wren - 1

Wilson's Warbler - 9

Orange-crowned Warbler - 1

Green-tailed Towhee - 1

Clay-colored Sparrow - 1

Lincoln's Sparrow - 2

Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow - 1
