Although we got 15 total birds, today was very slow. Our first net brought
back 12 of the birds for the day. Our first flock of bushtit from opening
day came back through and we got one more new bird from that flock with
some recaps. We had nice a diversity of species today with the highlight
being our first Ruby-crowned Kinglet and Song Sparrow.
*10 Newly Banded Birds:*
Bushtit: 1
Gambel’s White-crowned Sparrow: 3
House Finch: 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 1
Song Sparrow: 1
Spotted Towhee: 2
Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay: 1
*5 Recaptured Birds:*
Bushtit: 4
Mountain 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
.
