[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 9/27/24

This being our first (only?) year at this new location, we made our net location decisions based on our best guesses about where the birds would be.  The sparrows have been telling us we needed to move at least a couple of nets, and we did that late morning yesterday.  Seven of the 18 birds we banded today were caught in nets that didn't exist until today.  Thanks to Charlie Chase, Dale Campau and Audrey Hicks for clearing the 2 new lanes in the HOT weather yesterday - it paid off right away!

So, not a big day, but at least in double digits!  Definitely a fall mix of birds:

Hermit Thrush 2

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Wilson's Warbler 1

Chipping Sparrow 5

Song Sparrow 2

Lincoln's Sparrow 2

White-crowned Sparrow, Mountain 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 2

Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 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,
