Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/6/16

[meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

The House Wrens, which have been around since we started banding a little over a week ago, decided to jump into action today.  We banded 15, 5 of which we caught a 2nd time before the morning was over.  Otherwise a calm morning, banding 22 plus catching 1 that we banded last year:

House Wren 15

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Yellow Warbler 2 new, 1 banded 2015

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 1

Common Yellowthroat 1

Spotted Towhee 2

Open daily, weather permitting, through June 2, EXCEPT for May 13, 14, and 30. It is almost always better to visit early in the morning. We are opening nets at 6:30, and most days will have birds back at the station by 7:15. There are school groups every weekday, arriving about 9:45. We aim to close by noon most days, earlier if it is very hot, very cold, or very windy.
