[cobirds] RMBO Barr Banding Station Report, 9/2

A quieter bird day, with a different assortment of species.  Paul Slingsby’s DFO group visited early and saw a variety of Warblers.  Then had a great time with the Bill and Jim Schmoker and Norm Lewis (and families), debating the characteristics of Hammonds (2) and Dusky (3) Flycatchers.  Finished off the day with a Blue Jay and a Hairy Woodpecker.  Here’s the breakdown:

 

Hairy Woodpecker          1

Western Wood-pewee 1

Hammond’s Flycatcher  2

Dusky Flycatcher              3

Cassin’s Vireo    1

Blue Jay                1

House Wren       1

Yellow Warbler 3

Townsend’s Warbler      2

MacGillivray’s Warbler   2

Wilson’s Warbler              11

 

We will be open tomorrow, Labor Day.  Again, come early; we will likely start closing by 10 a.m.  Time for a relief from this heat!

 

Closed Tuesday, 9/4.  Next week, closed Wed, 9/12.  Otherwise open every day, weather permitting.
