Our second week of banding at Connected Lakes State Park saw a small influx of migrating warblers early in the week, followed soon after by a steady stream of White-crowned Sparrows by week's end. We hosted nearly 200 Mesa County 4th graders, and had a nice turn out for our public day on Saturday. We banded 80 new individuals of 13 species and recaptured 3 Wilson's from earlier this season, all of which put on some weight, and one Bushtit banded in 2023.
-- Our station is located at the Connected Lakes section of the Colorado River State Park. Visitors are welcome, but we recommend visiting before 9:30 am as we have school groups every day this week. Weather permitting, we are open Monday-Friday until 10/11. First net run is at 7:30.
You can find our banded species listed below. And if you are interested in additional species we saw at the park last week, you can check out our eBird trip report for the week. https://ebird.org/tripreport/279100
