Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Lake Banding Report, 10/9/21

[Meredith McBurney]

Sparse-ness continued, with only 7 new birds today.  Luckily we had 8 recaps (all from this season) so we had birds to share with our many visitors today - two groups of bird-loving members of the general public and then a group of Girl Scouts working on their animal habitat badge who were specifically interested in how climate change might be impacting birds.  We had a lot to talk about in this year of sparse birds!

Our most interesting bird of the morning was a hatch year Lazuli Bunting - pretty brown bird with just a hint of aqua on a few feathers.  Here's the breakdown of today's new birds:

Hermit Thrush 1

Yellow-rumped Warbler, intermediate 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 4

Lazuli Bunting 1
