[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Lake Banding Report, 10/1/21

Today's list of captures felt like what we should be seeing on October 1 - Bigger birds, sparrows and other later migrants, plus a few resident species that we don't seem to catch until it is really fall.  For example, mid-morning, we had 2 Yellow-rumped Warblers, 2 White-breasted Nuthatches, and a Black-capped Chickadee (all in the same net) and a Flicker.  We are also recapturing more birds that we banded in recent weeks, like White-crowned Sparrows, that may be sticking around for the winter.  Here's the breakdown for the day:

Northern Flicker Intergrade 1

White-breasted Nuthatch 2 (male and female)

Hermit Thrush 2

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 2

Green-tailed Towhee 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 2

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 2

[Recaptures included 2 Black-capped Chickadees, 1 Gray Catbird, 2 Spotted Towhees, 1 Song Sparrow and 2 White-crowned Sparrows]

We are open 6 days a week, weather permitting through October 23.  Closed Mondays.  Click here to register to visit - we are offering one-hour slots (up to 12 visitors at a time); 7:30-8:30 most weekdays, and 8-9, 9-10, and 10-11 on weekends.  Come visit!
