Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/25/16

[meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

Nice weather, relatively few new captures, recaught lots of birds banded earlier this season.  Here are the 18 new captures for the day:

Western Wood-pewee 2

Least Flycatcher 1

House Wren 1

Gray Catbird 3

Yellow Warbler 4 new, 2 returns (from 2014 and 2015)

American Redstart 1

Common Yellowthroat 1

Yellow-breasted Chat 1 new, 1 banded 2013

Lesser Goldfinch 1

Open daily, weather permitting, through June 2, EXCEPT for May 30. It is almost always better to visit early in the morning. We are opening nets at 6:30, and most days will have birds back at the station by 7:15. There are school groups every weekday, arriving about 9:45. We aim to close by noon most days, earlier if it is very hot, very cold, or very windy.
