[cobirds] RMBO Barr Banding Update, 9/4/13

Pattern continues….....nice and birdy really early, then the heat builds and the birds quiet down.  Today we caught 23 birds on our 7:30 run; then no more than 2 in each of the runs following.  So, if you decide to visit come early!  Today’s breakdown of 38 new birds (there were also 11 that we had caught previously this season):

 

Willow Flycatcher             1

Dusky Flycatcher              1

House Wren       3

Gray Catbird       1 (FOS)

Yellow Warbler 5

American Redstart          1

MacGillivray’s Warbler   3

Common Yellowthroat  6

Wilson’s Warbler              16

Lincoln’s Sparrow             1 (FOS)

 

We are open tomorrow, then closed Friday.  Open Saturday (Barr Lake State Park is hosting its annual Fall Bird Fest) and Sunday, then closed on Monday.
