Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Barr Lake, 8/27/17

[Meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

A much slower bird day than yesterday, we enjoyed comparing young Yellows and Wilson's and admiring our first Townsend's with a laid-back group of families and birders who visited on our first Sunday of the season.  30 new birds today (compared with 71 yesterday):

Black-capped Chickadee 2

House Wren 7 new, 1 banded on August 23 of last year

Yellow Warbler 10

Townsend's Warbler 2

Wilson's Warbler 7

Chipping Sparrow 1

Come visit! We are open 6 days per week (CLOSED Mondays), weather permitting. We are opening nets at 6:30 and should have birds back at the station before 7:30. We will close most days by about 11:30, earlier now when it is so hot. School groups arrive most weekdays at about 9:30.
