We were fortunate to see the banding of birds at Barr Lake with our bird watching group. Barr Lake does this every Fall with the birds that migrate through the area. Today we saw several Wilson’s Warblers that will be in the area for about two weeks. These birds fly down from the North, rest and fuel up at Barr Lake for their next journey to Mexico.

The process is pretty neat. They place a band on their leg, measure the wings and tail, weigh them and also check for fat on the body. This is all recorded in hopes they see the same bird in the future.

They weigh the birds by placing them head down into a PBC pipe. This little guy only weighed 7 grams which is the same amount as a dime and a nickel.
