Re: [cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 9/20/23

I really don’t think there is anything we can do. From what I understand, the destruction will go from somewhere along the dam through the banding station. I don’t think it will go through the nature preserve though. Let’s hope so. Given that part of the trail is along the railroad track and that

Re: [cobirds] Swan ID help/Weld

Based on what I am looking at in Sibley’s, my guess is that they are first summer tundra swans. Their backs are pretty white compared to their heads and necks, and they seem on the smaller side when compared to the ducks. But then again, this is just a guess! Lauren Hyde Keenesburg, Weld
