[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Pineridge Natural Area Banding Report 9/29-30

After a slow day yesterday (though with a new visitor, a Blue Jay!), we were excited to have activity pick up a little bit today for the CSU Field Ornithology club, which was fortunate. Weather has been lovely still, nice and cool in the mornings and warming up as noon approaches, although we're expecting that to change next week; it'll be curious to see how the birds respond to some cooler October weather! 

This report is for 9/29 through 9/30. 

New bands: 
Blue Jay - 1
Orange-crowned Warbler - 5
Wilson's Warbler - 5
Spotted Towhee - 1

Recaptures:
Wilson's Warbler - 1 (banded earlier this fall)

This banding station will be operating Tuesday through Saturday, weather and trail closures permitting, from sunrise until about 12:30 PM. Next week we are opening at 6:40. Peak hours for seeing birds in hand aren't yet established, but so far we have low to moderately steady activity from about 8:00 to 9:00 and another small push at around 10:00. Park at the Maxwell Natural Area parking lot and walk south along the trail towards Dixon Reservoir, and you will see our table and blue awning on the little hillside to the left of the main trail. Consider signing up for your visit at this link;  registration is free and helps us plan ahead for visitor numbers. I hope to see you there!
