Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report 9/4/25

[meredith]

I think the thrushes heard me whining about the lack of birds that weren't Wilson's Warblers; we caught our first thrushes today - 3 Swainson's and 1 Hermit.  Banded 28 birds (the best day so far of this incredibly slow season) in spite of closing ~1 hour early due to the heat:

Northern House Wren 1

Swainson's Thrush 3

Hermit Thrush 1

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

Wilson's Warbler 20

Brewer's Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

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 here to register.
