[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 10/10/24

Another pretty typical October day - Sparrows, especially Juncos, and a fair number of recaps that may be birds staying around for the winter.  The surprise was 2 more Sharp-shinned Hawks - we've now caught 4 Sharpies and 1 Copper's Hawk; the most we've ever caught previously in a season of these 2 species was 3 in 2012.  All have been hatch year birds, and all but 1 SSHA were males.

Here's the breakdown of today's 17 new birds:

Sharp-shinned Hawk 2

Hermit Thrush 1

Wilson's Warbler 1

Spotted Towhee 1

Song Sparrow 2

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 3

Dark-eyed Junco, Slate-colored 2

Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 3

Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 1

Dark-eyed Junco, White-winged 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,
