Hi everyone, I've just wrapped up the third week of banding at Connected Lakes State Park in Grand Junction. Storms played a large role in determining the net hours for the week, as rain and wind played a factor nearly every day. Although the weather wasn't always cooperative, this was the busiest week yet in terms of bird activity. I banded 81 birds of 15 species over the past 5 days, including 2 returning Black-capped Chickadees from 2017 and a White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel's) from 2017. We also had some unexpected species, including a Black Phoebe and a Nashville Warbler! The following species account represents the effort of 175.5 net hours at this site.
-- White-crowned Sparow (Gambel's): 30
Bushtit: 12
Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 9
Wilson's Warbler: 7
Spotted Towhee: 5
Orange-crowned Warbler: 5
White-crowned Sparrow (Mountain): 5
Black Phoebe: 1
Nashville Warbler: 1
Hammond's Flycatcher: 1
Bewick's Wren: 1
Audubon's Warbler: 1
Dark-eyed Junco: 1
Song Sparrow: 1
House Finch: 1
Black-capped Chickadee: 2 returns from 2017
White-crowned Sparow (Gambel's): 1 return from 2017
This coming week is my last week of banding at Connected Lakes State Park, it is open to the public and I hope to see you there!
