[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 10/16/23

Today, we caught almost all of our birds in the first and last runs - White-crowned Sparrows early and Dark-eyed Juncos late.  Just depended on when the little flocks passed through.  In our "bigger bird" category, today we added a striking Townsend's Solitaire (likely our only one for the season).  Here's the breakdown of today's 17 new birds:

Townsend's Solitaire 1

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1 (very few this year; this one was with the small junco flock at the end of the morning)

Song Sparrow, 2 new, 1 banded last year

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 6

Dark-eyed Junco, Slate-colored 1

Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 4

Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 1

Our last week!  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.  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.
