Weather was a major factor today. We arrived at Barr expecting not to open because it was still raining/drizzling throughout Denver and the southern suburbs, but the rain had stopped early in Brighton and things were relatively dry. It was overcast and cool and very quiet throughout the morning except for about 30 minutes of sun mid-morning, when the resident species came out, netting us several previously banded birds, including a Downy Woodpecker that was banded in 2018. Otherwise banded just 9 birds, with lots of one-of-a-kinds:
Downy Woodpecker 1, banded 2018 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Swainson's Thrush 1 Hermit Thrush 1 Gray Catbird 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1 White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 2 Dark-eyed Junco, Slate-colored 1 We are open 6 days a week, weather permitting through October 23.
