Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5-7-18

[Meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

Busy early again today, and then everything went quiet minutes before a Cooper's Hawk came through.  Never picked up again.  Banded 10 and recaught 2 from prior years:

Dusky Flycatcher 1 (FOS flycatcher)

House Wren 4

Yellow Warbler 1, banded in 2016 and recaught in 2017

Spotted Towhee 2

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Lesser Goldfinch 2 (probable pair, FOS)

Brown-headed Cowbird 1, banded 2016 and recaught 2017

Come visit! Station is open daily, weather permitting, through the end of May, except for May 10-12 and 28. We open nets about 6:30 and close around noon. If you would like to visit on a weekend, you must pre-register - go to the Audubon Society of Greater Denver website. Perhaps the best time for birders to visit is early in the morning during the week - fewer people and more birds! (School groups arrive each day between 9:30 and 10:30.)
