Hi everyone, I've just wrapped up the third week of banding at Connected Lakes State Park in Grand Junction. Storms played a large role in determining the net hours for the week, as rain and wind played a factor nearly every day. Although the weather wasn't always cooperative, this was the busiest week yet in terms of bird activity. I banded 81 birds of 15 species over the past 5 days, including 2 returning Black-capped Chickadees from 2017 and a White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel's) from 2017. We also had some unexpected species, including a Black Phoebe and a Nashville Warbler! The following species account represents the effort of 175.5 net hours at this site.
White-crowned Sparow (Gambel’s): 30 Bushtit: 12 Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 9 Wilson's Warbler: 7 Spotted Towhee: 5 Orange-crowned Warbler: 5 White-crowned Sparrow (Mountain): 5 Black Phoebe: 1 Nashville Warbler: 1 Hammond's Flycatcher: 1 Bewick's Wren: 1 Audubon's Warbler: 1 Dark-eyed Junco: 1 Song Sparrow: 1 House Finch: 1 Black-capped Chickadee: 2 returns from 2017 White-crowned Sparow (Gambel’s): 1 return from 2017 This coming week is my last week of banding at Connected Lakes State Park, it is open to the public and I hope to see you there!
