A perfectly beautiful banding morning at Barr - a respectable number of birds (55 new and 1 return from last year), lots of species (20), and, as mentioned in an earlier post, 2 Barr rarities (a Great-crested Flycatcher and a Golden-winged Warbler). And lots of visitors with whom to share it all!

[cobirds] Barr Lake - Adams County

I made it out to Barr Lake this afternoon and I thought I was having a good day. Then I read Meredith's post. Apparently, some of the good birds that I found were caught earlier in the morning, so none of them have any stealth capabilities whatsoever. No wonder I was able to find them all.

Hello, Birders. As John Tumasonis notes, it's challenging to get around Boulder County right now, and it's illegal to go birding at many hot spots in the county. But as John also says, there's a lot out there, everywhere. Walk around your neighborhood for just four or five minutes, and you'll h
