Two more slow days at the GVAS station. Yesterday we banded two new birds, and today we had four. A significant proportion of our captures have been recaptures. A fun one for today was an Orange- crowned Warbler which when we captured on 9/25 weighed 9.3 grams and today weighed 10.4 grams.
Yesterday: 9/27 Wilson's Warbler 1 Spotted Towhee 1 In addition, we recaptured a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher from a few days ago, and a Spotted Towhee and Song Sparrow which were not from this season. Today: 9/28 Black-capped Chickadee 2 Wilson's Warbler 2 Plus one recaptured Orange-crowned and one recaptured Wilson's Warbler. As a special bonus, we rustled up two Gambel's Quail to show the kids before releasing (unbanded). -Stephanie Stephanie Coates Bander, Ridgway and GVAS Stations Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
