Grand Valley Audubon Banding Station - Bird Conservancy of the Rockies (09/26/25) – Mesa Co.

[Mietron Shahbodaghloo]

A little calm before the storm in terms of weather patterns. We hadn’t seen many warblers in the area the last few days, but it looks like last night was favorable for another warbler push.

7 Newly Banded Birds:

Mourning Dove: 1

Mountain White-crowned Sparrow: 2

Orange-crowned Warbler: 3

Wilson’s Warbler: 1

 

0 Recaptured Birds:

 

The station will operate daily (Monday-Friday) from around 7:00a-1:00p (weather dependent) until October 10^th.

We’re located at James M Robb Colorado River State Park by the Kingfisher parking lot. Follow the yellow signs pointing to the banding station! Feel free to stop by when we’re around! Or join us on our Public Day on Sept 27^th.

*** Note: State park entrance fees apply. More information about Ridgway State Park can be found here.

 

Have a blessed day!
