Aside from rampaging deer taking out 3 nets, we had a very pleasant morning, with lots of birds and nice variety:
Downy Woodpecker 1 Western Wood-pewee 3 Dusky Flycatcher 2 White-breasted Nuthatch 1 Swainson's Thrush 1 Gray Catbird 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler 1 (FOS. After considerable debate, we decided we could not specify subspecies on this very young, probable female.) Townsend's Warbler 2 MacGillivray's Warbler 2 Wilson's Warbler 39 Yellow-breasted Chat 1 Green-tailed Towhee 2 Chipping Sparrow 3 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Recaps (birds previously caught this year) included a Black-capped Chickadee, House Wrens, and a Common Yellowthroat, bringing the total species for the day to 18, the highest in 1 day yet this fall. Tomorrow (Sat) is the Barr Lake Fall Festival; no groups scheduled for Sun. We will be open every day this coming week EXCEPT Wed (9/12). It is a big week for school groups (M, T, Th and F).
