[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Station Report, 8/29/24

This was the best day of our season so far, with a much cooler morning and the first influx of Wilson's Warblers.  Caught a total of 41 new birds (our biggest day before today was 33):

Trail's Flycatcher 1

American Robin 1 (FOS)

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Yellow Warbler 3

Townsend's Warbler 1 (FOS)

American Redstart 1 (FOS)

Northern Waterthrush 2

Wilson's Warbler 29 

Song Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Yellow Warblers and House Wren, perhaps our two most common summer residents, remain well below normal, but, if today is any indication, Wilson's Warblers, our most commonly caught species, may be doing okay.  So the story may be changing a bit.  

We are banding Tuesday through Sunday mornings (closed Mondays).  There is a public session most weekday mornings from 7:30-8:30, and three time slots on weekends, at 8, 9, and 10 a.m. There is a $7 fee and registration is required – click here to register!

Let me know if you have any questions,
