Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Chatfield Banding Report, 4/29/22

[Meredith McBurney]

We banded 9 birds of 8 species today, which felt like a million after a couple of 3-bird days!  We caught our first Orange-crowned Warbler, which means we have caught all of the 9 migrating species that we commonly capture in April.  Here's the breakdown of new birds today:

Downy Woodpecker 1 (FOS)

House Wren 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 1 (FOS)

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 1

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon 1

Green-tailed Towhee 1 (FOS)

Song Sparrow 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 2

We are open 6 mornings per week, closed on Mondays.  Registration is required to visit on the weekends - there are three 1 hour sessions, starting at 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30.  Go here to register.  There are school groups every week day, arriving about 9:30.  Individuals may drop by early mornings during the week although there are groups visiting early on some days.
