Yesterday was our final day of banding for the season out at Rogers Grove Park in Longmont. We caught and banded just 3 birds for the day, as it remained fairly quiet in the area. flocks of Oregon Juncos have shown up, but stayed away from our nets. Here are our totals for the day.
Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 1
Orange-crowned Warbler - 1 (orestera spp.)
Hermit Thrush - 1
We are officially cancelling banding on Thursday, Oct 10th due to the approach of our first winter storm! Even if it doesn't amount to much snow it will be too cold to band birds. It may still be a very productive day for birding though so get out there if you can!
