[cobirds] Barr Banding Station Report, 8/31/12

Another busy day, with 70 birds banded.  The Wilson’s Warblers are back and have replaced Yellows and House Wrens as the primary species.  The most interesting bird was a Veery, our second of the season and the first since 2006.  Here’s the breakdown:

 

Downy Woodpecker      1

Western Wood-pewee 5

House Wren       3

Veery    1

Yellow Warbler 3

Townsend’s Warbler      3

MacGillivray’s Warbler   2

Wilson’s Warbler              46

Chipping Sparrow            4

Clay-colored Sparrow     1

Song Sparrow    1   

 

The weekend promises to be a HOT one, but the early mornings (say, from 7 to 9!) are very nice and the birds are active.  So, come, but come early…….we are likely to start closing nets by 10 or so.

 

Open all 3 days of this Labor Day weekend.  Our closed days for the next 2 weeks are Tuesday, 9/4, and then Wednesday, 9/12.
