Finished off our week with what I think of as a typical Barr banding morning, with Wilson's Warblers dominating and a relatively small number of species (11 species with a total of 49 banded compared with 16 species and 32 banded yesterday). Here's the breakdown:
-- Western Wood-Pewee 4
Dusky Flycatcher 3
Cassin's Vireo 1
Black-capped Chickadee 1
House Wren 5
Yellow Warbler 6
Townsend's Warbler 1
MacGillivray's Warbler 1
Common Yellowthroat 1
Wilson's Warbler 25
Chipping Sparrow 1
If you'd like to visit this fall (and we hope you will): Due to restrictions related to Covid-19, we are requiring visitors to make a reservation and we will have only 6 visitors at the station at a time. We are doing three one-hour time slots, from 8-9, 9-10, and 10-11,
on Tuesdays and then Thursdays through Sundays, starting this week and running through October 11. There is a $5 per person fee; scholarships are available to those unable to pay. All visitors, staff and volunteers will be wearing masks and people will be expected to socially distance.
