An isolated thunderstorm passed through the Barr Lake area early evening yesterday; the nets were still quite wet when we opened on this cool Saturday morning for one of our slowest days of the season. Guessing that any bird that could left after the storm and nothing new came in.
We will see what tomorrow brings......In the meantime, here are today's 19 new:
Red-breasted Nuthatch 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 3
Common Yellowthroat 1
Wilson's Warbler 7
Green-tailed Towhee 2
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 2
Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1
We are open Tuesday through Sunday, weather permitting, through October 23. Most weekday mornings there is a visitor session from 7:30 to 8:30, and on the weekends there are sessions at 8, 9 and 10 a.m. Reservations are needed;
