With just a couple days left until we see a large weather pattern shift, we expected today to be a nice window for migration, but we were left with only one bird. A recapture white-crowned sparrow from Tuesday that gained only 0.3g. Slowest day thus far.
0 Newly Banded Birds:
1 Recaptured Birds:
Gambel’s White-crowned Sparrow: 1
The station will operate daily (Monday-Friday) from around 7:00a-1:00p (weather
dependent) until October 10th.
We’re located at James M Robb Colorado River State Park by the Kingfisher parking lot. Follow the yellow signs pointing to the banding station! Feel free to stop by when we’re around!
*** Note: State park entrance fees apply. More information about Ridgway State Park can be found here.
Have a blessed day!
