[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Lake Banding Report, 9/6/26

We finished week 2 with the slowest day of the season, banding only 16 birds.  Until the last couple of days, our total numbers have been close to 2020, our busiest year ever.  Looking at the difference between the two years for these last few days, it appears that species other than WIWAs were starting to move through in greater numbers.  Although temps on this day in 2020 were in the 90's, the first snowstorm of the season hit the next day!  That's not in tomorrow's forecast, and it appears that the heat is going to continue for awhile.

Here's today's 16 new birds:

Rock Wren 1 (FOS)

Northern House Wren 2

Swainson's Thrush 1

Wilson's Warbler 9

Chipping Sparrow 1

Song Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

We are open Tuesday through Saturday, weather permitting, through October 23.  Most weekday mornings there is a visitor session from 7:30 to 8:30, and on the weekends there are sessions at 8, 9 and 10 a.m.  Reservations are needed; here is the link.   Please join us......It remains a great year to visit Barr!
