Barr was covered in a dense fog this morning, which burned off slowly over the morning. Sun was out by the time we were closing. Probably as a result there was limited bird activity. 25 new birds plus 1 recapture from last year:
Downy Woodpecker 1 return, banded last year
Dusky Flycatcher 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 4
Hermit Thrush 2
Orange-crowned Warbler 1
Wilson's Warbler 7
Song Sparrow 1
White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 9
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;
here is the link. Please join us......It is a great year to visit Barr!
