Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/15/18

[Meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

Today was similar to yesterday without the 10 Chipping Sparrows to help our numbers!  Banded 17 and caught 5 banded in prior seasons:

Least Flycatcher 1

House Wren 2

Gray Catbird 1 new, 1 banded 2017

Yellow Warbler 1 new, 1 banded 2017

Common Yellowthroat 2

Wilson's Warbler 1

Yellow-breasted Chat 2 new, 1 banded 2017, 1 banded 2016

Spotted Towhee 1

Green-tailed Towhee 1 (FOS)

Lincoln's Sparrow 2

White-crowned Sparrow, Mountain 2

American Goldfinch 1 M new, 1 F banded 2017 (traveling together)

Come visit! Station is open daily, weather permitting, through the end of May, except for Memorial Day. We open nets about 6:30 and close around noon. If you would like to visit on a weekend, you must pre-register - go to the Audubon Society of Greater Denver website. Perhaps the best time for birders to visit is early in the morning during the week - fewer people and more birds! (School groups arrive each day between 10:00 and 10:30.)
