[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 9/26/24

I'm with Julie on the weather - this heat is odd. The day can start almost cool and crisp, and then suddenly it is like being in a sauna.  Few birds and, by mid-morning, rather unpleasant conditions.  Over the past 10 days or so, we've moved from Wilson's Warblers to sparrows without much in between - e.g. few Orange-crowned Warblers, only 1 Yellow-rumped, etc. 

Our count for the day was 7 new birds:

Wilson's Warbler 1

Spotted Towhee 1

Song Sparrow 3 (I don't think these are our year-round resident SOSPs)

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

Weather permitting, 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,
