Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Lake Banding Report, 8/28/26

[Meredith McBurney]

Today was the slowest day of our first week. Our daily totals have pretty much been driven by Wilson's Warblers and, to a lesser extent, Yellows and House Wrens, all of which were down today.  It seemed like the hottest and most humid morning we've had.  Tomorrow is forecast to be cooler; hope that happens!

Here's today's 33 new and 1 return:

Hammond's Flycatcher 1

Dusky Flycatcher 1

Western Flycatcher 1

Black-capped Chickadee 1

Red-breasted Nuthatch 1

Northern House Wren 2

Golden-crowned Kinglet 1

Yellow Warbler 5 new, 1 return banded in 2023

Townsend's Warbler 1

Wilson's Warbler 17

Yellow-breasted Chat 1

Song Sparrow 1

We are open Tuesday through Saturday, 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 looks like it will be a great year to visit Barr!
