Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Lake Banding Station 9/27/25

Our dismal season continued with only 4 birds banded:

Downy Woodpecker 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Wilson's Warbler 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

My deep appreciation to our many wonderful visitors today - we had plenty of time in between birds, and we spent it engaged in stimulating discussions about the why of low numbers this season - especially low at Barr but overall on the front range -  as well as what we must do to help conserve these birds that we all care about so deeply.

Share your passion!

P.S. Our visitor hours: Weekends we are running 3 sessions, at 8, 9, and 10 a.m.  Most weekdays (Tues through Fri) there is a 7:30 to 8:30 session.   These are small group sessions (15 or fewer visitors), and a great way to learn more about the species that move through the front range in the fall.  There is a $7 fee and registration is required - click here to register.
