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.
