Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report 8/24/25

[meredith]

Another very slow day at and around the banding station.  The wind picked up about mid-morning (at which point we closed about half the station), but even before that it was very quiet.  We caught just 4 new birds - 1 Mourning Dove, 2 Yellow Warblers, 1 Northern House Wren - plus recaptured 2 birds banded yesterday or the day before.  There are not a lot of birds around.

A rare time when I'm really happy that tomorrow is our day off!  We will be back out, hoping for some migration activity, on Tuesday.

Our visitor hours: Weekends we will run 3 sessions, at 8, 9, and 10 a.m.  Weekdays (Tues through Fri) there will be 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.
