[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, Barr Banding Station, 8/22/24

We had a perfectly lovely first day of banding at our new station at Barr. Enough birds to get a sense of how the station will work without being overwhelmed.  And a lovely mix - 33 birds of 15 species, including 5 warblers, one of which is rarish for Barr (see photo).

Here's the breakdown:

Western Wood-pewee 1

Dusky Flycatcher 1

Western Flycatcher 1

Warbling Vireo 1

House Wren 7

Yellow Warbler 6

Black and White Warbler 1

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 2

Wilson's Warbler 4

Yellow-breasted Chat 1

Song Sparrow 3

Lazuli Bunting 1

Bullock's Oriole 1

American Goldfinch 2

We'd love to share this combination of year-round birds, summer residents and early fall migrants with you!  Weekend visitor hours start this Saturday, with sessions at 8, 9, and 10.  On weekdays (Tues-Fri, closed Mon) we have one session at 7:30.  There is a $7 fee and registration is required – click here to register!

Let me know if you have any questions,
