The Barr banding station is in its 27th year, so it is hard to get "first
evers", but we had one today..an ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER. A pretty
scruffy-looking adult who was not happy to be caught!
Overall, a little more variety and higher numbers than yesterday. We banded
30, plus caught 18 that we had banded previously, most from Monday when the
early morning rain brought so many birds down. Here's the breakdown of the
new birds:
Dusky Flycatcher 1
Ash-throated Flycatcher 1
House Wren 5
Swainson's Thrush 1
Yellow Warbler 9
Townsend's Warbler 1
Common Yellowthroat 3
Wilson's Warbler 9
Open Wed-Thurs, then closed Fri. Sat is Barr Lake's Fall Birding Festival,
with a variety of fun activities and booths at the Nature Center, plus bird
hikes and of course banding. Open Sun, closed Mon.
