We had nice weather on Friday and Saturday, and capture numbers on the good side for this season - which means well below average for a typical season at Barr. Friday we banded 17 birds and recaught a Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow that we first banded in 2007. Saturday we banded 22. Sunday was warmer and dismal; we banded 9 birds and closed early when the wind picked up. Hoping for better bird results and slightly cooler weather this coming week.
Total birds banded for the 3 days: Downy Woodpecker 3 Western Wood-pewee 3 Rock Wren 1 House Wren 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Hermit Thrush 3 Orange-crowned Warbler 14 Myrtle Warbler 1 Audubon's Warbler 4 Townsend's Warbler 1 Wilson's Warbler 5 Yellow-breasted Chat 1 Chipping Sparrow 2 Song Sparrow 1 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow 1 Oregon Junco 1 Pink-sided Junco 4 We will be closed Wednesday, 9/30. Otherwise open every day this week, including Sat and Sun. Next likely closed date is 10/7.
