Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/22/18

[Meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

Highlight of the day was a pair of American Redstarts - adult male and female - in the net together.  Great photo op!  Here's the breakdown of the day:

Western Wood-pewee 1

Dusky Flycatcher 1

House Wren 1

Gray Catbird 4 new, 1 banded 2017

Cedar Waxwing 1

Yellow Warbler 2

American Redstart 2

Common Yellowthroat 1

Yellow-breasted Chat 2

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Lesser Goldfinch 1 (green-backed)

Come visit! Station is open daily, weather permitting, through the end of
May, except for Memorial Day. 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 10:00 and 10:30.)
