[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report 8/29/25

It seemed early on that we might actually have a somewhat normal early fall day - We quickly caught 3 Common Yellowthroats and 3 Wilson's Warblers while we replaced 2 nets and repaired a 3rd that were damaged by our resident herd of deer, harangued the raccoon until he lumbered off away from the nets, and enjoyed our visitors - a DFO group led by Charlie Chase.  But that was about it for the morning, and we ended with just 9 new birds (plus 3 others banded earlier this season, not listed below):

Dusky Flycatcher 1
Yellow Warbler 1
Common Yellowthroat 3
Wilson's Warbler 3
Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Happy that Julie had such a good opening day at Chico - there are birds out there!

Our visitor hours: Weekends we will run 3 sessions, at 8, 9, and 10 a.m.  Weekdays (Tues through Fri) there will be a 7:30 to 8:30 session.   These are small group sessions (15 or fewer visitors), and a great way to learn more about the species that move through the front range in the fall.  There is a $7 fee and registration is required - click here to register.
