Subject: [cobirds] Grand Valley Audubon Banding Station - Bird Conservancy of the Rockies (09/19/25) – Mesa Co.


Despite our afternoon being on the slower side, at least 40% of our
captures today were *new species. A lot of our birds have been pretty low
in fat content. Curious to see if we start seeing more fat birds soon or if
there’s a trend here for the season.

*8 Newly Banded Birds:*

* Black-capped Chickadee: 1

* Blue-gray Gnatcatcher: 1

Gambel’s White-crowned Sparrow: 1

House Finch: 1

* Mourning Dove: 1

Spotted Towhee: 1

* Virginia’s Warbler: 1

Wilson’s Warbler: 1



*2 Recaptured Birds:*

Bewick’s Wren: 1

Gambel’s White-crowned Sparrow: 1




The station will operate daily (Monday-Friday) from around 7:00a-1:00p
(weather dependent) until October 10th.

We’re located at James M Robb Colorado River State Park by the Kingfisher
parking lot. Follow the yellow signs pointing to the banding station! Feel
free to stop by when we’re around! Or join us on our Public Day on Sept 27th
.

*** Note: State park entrance fees apply. More information about Ridgway
State Park can be found here.
