Busiest morning at Barr so far this season - banded 76 birds. Caught 63 of them in the 7 a.m. run, which made for a VERY busy start! Mostly Wilson's Warblers, of course, but some other cool stuff:
Black-capped Chickadee 1 House Wren 6 Hermit Thrush 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 15 Townsend's Warbler 3 Northern Waterthrush 1 Common Yellowthroat 3 Wilson's Warbler 41 Green-tailed Towhee 3 White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel's) 1 Dark-eyed Junco (Gray-headed) 1 We are open 6 days per week, weather permitting. Our next closed day is Mon, 9/14. This Saturday is the Barr Lake Birding Festival, with lots of family oriented activities and bird hikes and lots of visitors to the banding station. We are opening nets at 6:30, and will run until noon or whenever it gets too hot. School groups arrive about 9:30 a.m. most weekdays. It is wise to come early to beat the school groups and for more/better birds (See second sentence of this e-mail!)
