[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report 9/8/23

Twenty-nine new birds, including 3 species that we usually catch annually but often only one a season - Swainson's Thrush, Western Tanager and Vesper Sparrow.  Wilson's continue to dominate, but we remain well behind normal levels for that key species.  Here are today's new birds:

Western Wood-Pewee 2

House Wren 3

Swainson's Thrush 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 5

Yellow Warbler 1

Townsend's Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 2

Wilson's Warbler 12

Western Tanager 1

Vesper Sparrow 1

Tomorrow (Saturday) is the Barr Lake Birding Festival. Lots of informational booths and activities for the whole family.  Visits to the banding station will be scheduled at the Bird Conservancy booth rather than through our website.

Sunday we return to our normal scheduling process for visitors.  if you would like to visit, we have one-hour slots (up to 15 visitors at a time) from 7:30-8:30 most weekday mornings (Tues-Fri, we are closed on Mon) and 8, 9 , and 10 a.m. one-hour time slots on the weekends.  Click here to make a reservation.
