Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Lake Banding Report, 9/3/26

[Meredith McBurney]

We had a quiet morning, banding 28 birds.  We had a higher ratio of repeats (14 total), including some more of the Wilson's that we banded on our huge day on Tuesday.  No new species.

We did have a nice mix of species - visitors got up close looks at 5 of our most common warbler species along with other goodies.  Here's the breakdown on the new birds:

Western Wood-pewee 1

Least Flycatcher 1

Red-breasted Nuthatch 2

Northern House Wren 2

Gray Catbird 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Yellow Warbler 3

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 3

Wilson's Warbler 12

Savannah 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 is a great year to visit Barr!
