Hi, all!

We had another great week here at the GVAS banding station in Grand
Junction. Thank you especially to everyone who came out for our Public
Banding Day on Sept 26. Here are the totals for the week:

Wilson's Warbler: 20
Spotted Towhee: 12
Gambel's White-Crowned Sparrow: 11
Mountain White-Crowned Sparrow: 8
House Finch: 8
Bushtit: 7
Ruby-Crowned Kinglet: 5
MacGillivray's Warbler: 3
Song Sparrow: 2
Bewick's Wren: 2
Black-Capped Chickadee: 2
Cassin's Vireo: 2
Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher: 1
Grasshopper Sparrow (!!): 1
Lincoln's Sparrow: 1

The highlight of this week was definitely the Grasshopper Sparrow, which we
banded at 7:10 on Monday, Sept 21. This was the first Grasshopper Sparrow
ever banded at this station, and it enjoyed quite a lot of attention and
paparazzi photos.

Until next week!
