[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 9/30/23

Continued slow (how many different ways can I say that?)  Thanks to our wonderful visitors, who are interested in the broader conservation picture that emerges when we have a year like this and deeply appreciate the few birds they do get to see.  (Today, we enjoyed the side-by-side comparisons of Swainson's and Hermit Thrushes, Gray Catbird and Brown Thrasher, and Song and Lincoln Sparrows.)  Here's the breakdown of the 9 new birds today (we also had 8 recaps, which is how we got the catbird and thrasher together):

House Wren 1

Swainson's Thrush 1

Gray Catbird 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 2

Song Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 2

Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1

We will be banding tomorrow, unless the wind drives us away!

If you would like to visit our station, 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.  As long as the heat continues, you are more likely to see birds if you come earlier in the morning.  Click here to make a reservation.
