Bird Conservancy Report - Chatfield, 5/9/17

[Meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

A slow banding day - It pretty much rained all night, and I don't think there was much movement of birds in or out.  A total of 9 new and 2 returns from previous years:

Dusky Flycatcher (FOS) 1

House Wren 3

Yellow Warbler 1 new, 1 banded 2015

Common Yellowthroat 1

Yellow-breasted Chat 1 new, 1 banded 2016

Chipping Sparrow (FOS) 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

The banding station runs daily, weather permitting, through June 1 (except Memorial Day), from 7:00 to approximately 11:30. There have been some changes in WEEKEND visiting policies - If you are planning a weekend visit, I strongly encourage you to go to Denveraudubon.org to get more information and guarantee your spot by PRE-REGISTERING. Weekdays are the same as in the past - school groups arrive between 9:30 and 10; early weekday mornings are the best time for a peaceful visit with us and the birds!
