Hi Cobirders,
Birds were very active yesterday morning at the Barr Lake Station area, where we were working with DMNS staff to prep for a live-feed Science in Action program to be held in mid-October. The weather was cool and the captures were steady throughout the morning, producing 75 new birds, 16 species (also caught 20 birds banded in the 3 other days we've been unofficially open). Downy Woodpecker 2 Western Wood-pewee 5 Willow Flycatcher 3 Dusky Flycatcher 1 Warbling Vireo 1 Black-capped Chickadee 1 (banded 9/2/11) House Wren 11 Nashville Warbler 1 Yellow Warbler 25 Townsend's Warbler 1 MacGillivray's Warbler 1 Wilson's Warbler 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 1 Chipping Sparrow 19 Brewer's Sparrow 1 Lark Sparrow 1 Looking forward to seeing many of you this Saturday - opening day for us and, of course, the day of the RMBO picnic! If not then, anytime in the next 7 weeks..we will be open 6 days a week, and always on weekends, until Oct 14 (weather permitting).
