Bird Conservancy of the Rockies-Grand Junction Banding Station

Hello all!

Our first week in Junction was short as we only had a half day on Tuesday and we closed completely for rain on Wednesday. We didn't catch anything as exciting as a Thick-billed Kingbird but we did catch a lovely adult male Nashville Warbler and a Spotted Towhee banded as a hatch year bird in 2017. 65 birds representing 14 species this week.
