A somewhat abbreviated day - there was wind that prevented a few nets from being opened at all, and it was cloudless, sunny, and hot, which led us to close nets 30 to 60 minutes early. It was also a pretty slow day overall, with only 15 new birds caught/banded:

Willow Flycatcher 3 (FOS)
Warbling Vireo, measured as Western 1
Black-capped Chickadee 1
Northern House Wren 2
Gray Catbird 1
Yellow Warbler 5
Common Yellowthroat 1
Yellow-breasted Chat 1

We are banding Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) through May 31, weather permitting. There are opportunities for the public to visit on weekends and early mornings most weekdays. Reservations are required and can be made through the Denver Audubon website. (Many/most sessions are already sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
