Our season is so ridiculous that I decided to move to reporting once or twice a week.  (Believe me, if we ever seem to actually be part of a migration process, I will go back to daily.)  Here are the last 4 days:

9/28 - 6 new birds:

House Wren 1

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1

Hermit Thrush 3

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

9/30 - 7 new birds:

Hammond's Flycatcher 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 3

Lincoln's Sparrow 2

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

10/1 - 3 new birds (all caught around 10 a.m.):

Hermit Thrush 3

10/2 - 5 new birds (all caught before 9 a.m.):

Rock Wren 1 (FOS)

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1 (FOS)

Wilson's Warbler 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1

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.
