Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Lake Banding Report, 10-23-21

[Meredith McBurney]

We started off our last morning with a flock of a dozen birds, mostly Juncos, which made a nice presentation for our final student group of the season, the Advanced Field Ecology Lab from Regis University.  Then things slowed down to the normal 2021 season pace and we ended the day with 18 new birds (listed below) and 9 recaps (mostly White-crowned Sparrows that are likely sticking around for the winter):

Hermit Thrush 2

Yellow-rumped Warbler 1 Myrtle, 2 Audubon's, 2 unidentified

Song Sparrow 3

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

Dark-eyed Junco 2 Slate-colored, 4 Oregon

It is a big undertaking to run this station, and I want to thank the great team of volunteers who make this work possible.  It was sad, as always, to take the station down today, but I look forward to some time to analyze the data and see what we learned from this season.

Thanks to all who visited, who read and commented on our posts, and see you in the spring at Chatfield!
