Hi everyone, I've just wrapped up the last week of banding at Connected Lakes State Park in Grand Junction. As with last week, storms had an effect on the amount of net hours I could get in, including Thursday which was cancelled due to weather. I banded 50 birds of 12 species over the past 4 days, including 1 returning Spotted Towhee from 2017. The highlight of the week was a Chestnut-sided Warbler, which I continuously caught throughout the week! The following species account represents the effort of 157.5 net hours at this site.
White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel’s): 19 Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 8 Wilson's Warbler: 5 Orange-crowned Warbler: 4 Townsend's Warbler: 3 Dark-eyed Junco (Pink-sided): 3 Hermit Thrush: 2 White-crowned Sparrow (Mountain): 2 Chestnut-sided Warbler: 1 Hammond's Flycatcher: 1 House Finch: 1 MacGillivray's Warbler: 1 Spotted Towhee - 1 return from 2017 Despite drought and storms, cold and heat, this station was still very productive and an absolute blast to work at. Running this station would not have been possible without the efforts of the volunteers of Grand Valley Audubon and CPW, a sincere thanks to them!
