Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Lake Banding Report, 9/4/21

[Meredith McBurney]

The number of birds being caught daily remains low for this time of the season, but I think the percent of Wilson's Warblers -  about 2/3rds of the birds today - is probably about normal.  Like Chico, we had our first thrush, but ours was a Swainson's.  Enjoyed sharing the birds with enthusiastic groups of visitors today!   Here's the breakdown of today's 32 birds:

Mourning Dove 1

House Wren 3

Swainson's Thrush 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Yellow Warbler 1

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

Wilson's Warbler 22

Brewer's Sparrow 2

We are open 6 days a week, weather permitting through October 23.  Closed Mondays.  Click here to register to visit - we are offering one-hour slots (up to 12 visitors at a time); 7:30-8:30 most weekdays, and 8-9, 9-10, and 10-11 on weekends.  We look forward to seeing many of you during the season!
