Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield, 5/30/19

[Meredith McBurney]

Nice to see the sun again, although it means fewer birds around. I hope it also means the birds can begin to recover from the impact of the recent storms and cold weather.  We caught 33 new birds today:

Northern Flicker, Red-shafted 1 (FOS)

Western Wood-pewee 1

Willow Flycatcher 1

Dusky Flycatcher 2

Warbling Vireo 1 new, 1 banded 2016

House Wren 1

Swainson's Thrush 8

Cedar Waxwing 1 new, 1 banded 2018 (first time we've ever recaught a CEDW from a prior season)

Yellow Warbler 5 new, 1 banded 2016

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 1

Wilson's Warbler 2

Yellow-breasted Chat 1

Western Tanager 1

Green-tailed Towhee 1

Lesser Goldfinch 2

Tomorrow is our last day; we will take down the station after banding, my guess is we will start take-down about 11 a.m.
