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

An even slower day; perhaps due to the heat, maybe due in part to the Cooper's Hawk who was patrolling our most southern nets and got caught in our 9 a.m. run.  Made for an exciting mid-morning for visitors, volunteers and staff.

As we start looking at first week numbers, we are short on our most common early birds, both of which breed at Barr - Yellow Warblers and House Wrens.  

Here's the breakdown of today's 14 new birds:

Cooper's Hawk 1

Mourning Dove 1

Downy Woodpecker 1

Western Wood-pewee 2

Western Flycatcher 1

House Wren 4

Yellow Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 3 

There are slots open for visitors tomorrow,  Sunday, at 8, 9 and 10 a.m.  Next week we have weekday sessions (Tues-Fri, closed Mon) at 7:30.  There is a $7 fee and registration is required – click here to register!

Let me know if you have any questions,
