Caught only 8 new birds today, all Wilson's Warblers. Two of them were caught twice. It was as though a tiny flock of WIWAs had flown in and nothing else. And no hints of other activity from birds calling or moving about; it was very quiet.
We will be out again tomorrow, to continue documenting this disappointing season at Barr.
Come visit! 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
