Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/30/17

[Meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

We have a little pattern going here......about 3 hours of fairly steady birds in the cool morning, with one or two species dominating but a fair number of one-of-a-kinds.  Today the dominant species was Yellow Warbler, as it should be at this time of year at Chatfield.  Then we had 15 other species, most one of a kind.)  Here's the breakdown:

Western Wood-pewee 1

Dusky Flycatcher 1

Cordilleran Flycatcher 1

Warbling Vireo 2

Black-capped Chickadee 1

House Wren 1 new, 1 banded in 2016

American Robin 1

Gray Catbird 4

Yellow Warbler 9 new, 1 banded in 2015

American Redstart 1

Wilson's Warbler 2

Spotted Towhee 1

Song Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Lesser Goldfinch 1

American Goldfinch 1

Only two more days this season!  We will take down the station after banding on Thursday.  (School groups arrive at about 8:30 the next 2 mornings.)
