[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 9/23/22

We were rained out yesterday; today started cool and breezy but ended with an early close because it was very windy and quite warm.  Interesting weather and an interesting mix of species - we caught 3 species that are rare for the station - a lovely adult Sage Thrasher (4th in 17 years), a Red-naped Sapsucker (5th in 17) and a Townsend's Solitaire (10th in 17).  Also had our first junco.  Here's the breakdown of the 48 new birds (also had a slew of recaps):

Red-naped Sapsucker 1

Dusky Flycatcher 1

House Wren 1

Townsend's Solitaire 1
