Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Barr Lake Station, 9/7/16

[meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

Another day similar to yesterday - modest number of new birds (25) and relatively large number of recaps (24).  Wilson's Warblers continuing to dominate.  We enjoyed a visit with the Boulder Bird Club early, and then spent the balance of the morning with groups of very enthusiastic home schoolers.  Breakdown of new birds:

Dusky Flycatcher 1

Warbling Vireo 1

House Wren 2

Swainson's Thrush 1 (FOS)

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Yellow Warbler 1

MacGillivray's Warbler 3

Wilson's Warbler 15

We are open 6 days each week, weather permitting, through October 16. We are closed every Monday in September, then October 4 and 12. We are opening nets at about 6:30 a.m. and we start closing between 11 a.m. and 12 noon. We will open later and/or close earlier if it is very hot, very cold, wet, windy, etc. There are school groups most weekday mornings, usually arriving around 9:30. Best times to visit, if you like lots of birds and fewer humans, are early mornings during the week and Sundays.
 
Come visit!
