Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Banding Report - Grand Valley Audubon Society, 10/10/19

[Vicki Morgan]

A cold morning and high winds meant that we opened nets late and closed early.  This resulted in low bird numbers for the day - just 5 birds of 4 species.  This included two Wilson's Warblers, which we haven't seen here since the 27th of September.  Unfortunately tomorrow seems like it will be even colder, so I'm not expecting large bird numbers for the last day of the season either.

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1

White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel's) 1

Song Sparrow 1

Visitors are welcome at the banding station - tomorrow it will be cold enough that I don't expect to open nets before 9:00.  Closing should be around 11:30, depending on weather.  School groups arrive at around 9:30, so if you would like to visit it's best to arrive before then!
