RMBO Chatfield Banding Report, 5/25/15

[meredith]

A pretty typical late spring migration day.  Well, except for the high water on our little tributary of the Platte that has eliminated the three nets on the west end of the station.  And the paths that have become rivers.  And the swamp off the south end of the station that makes us feel like we are banding in Louisiana.  But, back to the birds - 35 new today, plus 1 more return from an earlier year:

Least Flycatcher 1

Dusky Flycatcher 1

Western Flycatcher 2

House Wren 3

Swainson's Thrush 3

Gray Catbird 9

Yellow Warbler 6 new, 1 return, banded in 2013

Common Yellowthroat 2

Wilson's Warbler 3

Yellow-breasted Chat 2

Spotted Towhee 1

American Goldfinch 2

This is our last week - open daily, weather permitting, through May 31, from about 7:30 - 11.
