[cobirds] RMBO Barr Banding Station Report, 9/30/13

Slightly better day today….17 birds banded:

 

Downy Woodpecker      2

Ruby-crowned Kinglet   2

Orange-crowned Warbler            5

Wilson’s Warbler              2

Green-tailed Towhee    1

Brewer’s Sparrow            1

Lincoln’s Sparrow             1

Gambel’s White-crowned Sparrow          1

House Sparrow 2

 

There seems to be lots of insects around, and the birds we are catching generally seem healthy, frisky with good fat levels.  I’m thinking of posting a birdboard or billbird (or whatever a big sign for birds would be) saying, “Come and visit!  Lots of food and no competition!” 

 

Open Tues-Thurs.  Then closed on Fri.  RMBO annual picnic is Sat!
