[cobirds] Ridgway Banding Station - Bird Conservancy of the Rockies (09/04/25) – Ouray Co.

Very little bird movement in the morning with things picking up by the afternoon. It's a good year for Northern Waterthrush here in Ouray County. Both yesterday and today saw an adult male in the nets. We had two new species today (Virginia's Warbler and Cedar Waxing), bringing our total species count up to 16! The waxwings have been in the area, but they tend to stay up higher away from the nets. However, we're hoping to catch a few more warblers in the coming days, so hopefully this new VIWA is a good sign for what's to come. Both of our recaptures today are from previous days this season, so it looks like they may stick around for a little bit.

14 Newly Banded Birds:

Cedar Waxwing: 1

Gray Catbird: 1

Lincoln's Sparrow: 1

MacGillivray's Warbler: 3

Northern Waterthrush: 1

Orange-crowned Warbler: 1

Song Sparrow: 2

Virginia's Warbler: 1

Wilson's Warbler: 3

 

2 Recaptured Birds

Gray Catbird: 1

Orange-crowned Warbler: 1

 

The station will operate Tuesday-Saturday from ~6:30a-noon until September 13^th.

We're located at Ridgway State Park (Dallas Creek entrance). Turn left and park at the end of the road at the confluence parking lot. We are located on the on the east side of the walking bridge. Feel free to stop by when we're around!

Have a blessed day!
