[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 10-9-22

Not a lot of birds today (only 18 new) but a couple of highlights:

To me, the White-winged is by far the most handsome of the Dark-eyed Juncos, and we had a real beauty today.

Biggest crowd pleaser was a Hairy Woodpecker.  A visitor marveled that one ever confused it in the field with the Downy, given how big the bird and its beak look in the hand!

Here's the breakdown of the 18 new birds:

Hairy Woodpecker 1

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1

European Starling 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 2

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1

Spotted Towhee 1

Song Sparrow 3

Lincoln's Sparrow 3

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 4

Dark-eyed Junco, White-winged 1
