Typical late spring mornings in Colorado - perfectly cool, sunny, lovely until about 10 a.m.  Highlights of the morning today were our FOS Cordilleran Flycatcher, and a pair of Warbling Vireos, side-by-side in the net, one banded last year.  Here's the breakdown:

Cordilleran Flycatcher 1

Warbling Vireo 1 new, 1 banded 2017

Swainson's Thrush 1

Gray Catbird 3

Yellow Warbler 4 new, 1 banded 2015

Common Yellowthroat 2

Bullock's Oriole 1

Only 5 more days!  We are open tomorrow (Friday) then Saturday-Sunday (Pre-register for weekend visits on the Audubon Society of Greater Denver website.).  We will be CLOSED on Memorial Day, then open Tuesday-Wednesday.  We will take down the station after banding on Wednesday. We open nets about 6:30 and with the heat are now closing around 10:30.
