[cobirds] RMBO Barr Banding Station Report, Tues, 10/8

Continues slow…..we are asking 1) Where did the adult warblers go and 2) Where are the large numbers of White-crowned Sparrows and Juncos?  Here’s the breakdown of the 16 new birds banded today:

 

Black-capped Chickadee               1

Ruby-crowned Kinglet   2

Townsend’s Solitaire      1 (FOS…..we usually catch about 1 each year)

Hermit Thrush   1

Grey Catbird      1

Orange-crowned Warbler            2

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon’s       1

Song Sparrow    2

Lincoln’s Sparrow             3

House Finch       1

House Sparrow 1

 

Open Wed through Sun, weather permitting.  Thurs we are doing Science in Action with DMNS (simulcasting to students in classrooms around the country), which is really exciting but not a great day to try to see birds at the banding station.  We will take the station down at the end of the day on Sun.
