Our second week of banding at Ridgway State Park began with an extra special surprise on the first net run. The Northern Pygmy-owl that had been hanging around the area was in one of our nets! Captures remained steady throughout the week, dominated by Audubon's Yellow-rumped Warblers, although we saw a bit of a decline in overall numbers the last few days. We hosted nearly 200 students at the station this week.
-- This week we banded 108 individuals of 20 species. This brings our two week total for Ridgway to 198 newly banded individuals and 2 previous year recaps (for a nice, round 200 individuals processed!) of 27 species.
On 9/16 we move to Grand Junction for the next month. 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. First net run is at 7:10.
You can find our banded species listed below. And if you are interested in additional species we saw at the park, you can check out our eBird trip report for the week. https://ebird.org/tripreport/275214
