[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report 9/10/23

I was hoping Saturday's "big" day of 51 new birds would be the beginning of a change, but our numbers on Sunday were pathetic - only 14 new birds.  We also had a slew (12 birds) of recaptures, most of them young Wilson's that had been banded on Saturday and were not ready to continue their migration (little or no increase in fat from the day before).  Here's a breakdown of the 14 new birds:

Probable Blue-headed Vireo 1 (most interesting bird of the day; lots of discussion about whether to call it Blue-headed or go with Solitary.  The data will go to the Bird Banding Lab with photos!)

Red-breasted Nuthatch 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 2

Wilson's Warbler 7

Yellow-breasted Chat 2

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.
