[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Barr Banding Report, 9/4/22

2022-09-04 Thread Meredith McBurney 
We were happy to spend our Labor Day Weekend Sunday with some of our 
favorite annual human visitors to the banding station!  We also had some 
nice birds.  

Of special interest was a Black-throated Blue Warbler. This species is less 
of a rarity than it used to be - we've caught one each of the past three 
seasons. But it is one of the warbler species where the young female 
presents an interesting ID challenge, being neither black-throated nor blue!

Then, we caught our first of season Warbling Vireo, a bird we had banded 
last year on September 9.  We noticed that it had a bill deformity - the 
lower mandible was slightly too long, so the upper and lower parts of the 
bill did not fit together quite right.  It apparently had overcome any 
obstacle that might have caused to its ability to get food!

A good day, and a nice way to end our second week.  Here's the breakdown of 
the 33 new birds:

Mourning Dove 1
Western Wood-pewee 4
Warbling Vireo 1 return, banded 2021 (FOS)
Black-capped Chickadee 1
House Wren 2
Orange-crowned Warbler 1
Yellow Warbler 4
Black-throated Blue Warbler 1
MacGillivray's Warbler 1
Wilson's Warbler 13
Clay-colored Sparrow 2
Song Sparrow 1
Black-headed Grosbeak 1 (FOS)

[cobirds] Re: Bird Conservancy of the Rockies IMBCR story map

2022-09-04 Thread Mikele Painter 
Thank you Matt, for posting this link and to BCR for all you do for 
wildlife.

I think it's important for everyone to know that funding from the USDA 
Forest Service for IMBCR is not a given each year in the Rocky Mountain 
Region. If anyone wants to contact the Regional Forester and share your 
thoughts about the program and the agency's continued support for it you 
can do that here...
