Bird Conservancy Banding Station Report - Chatfield, 5/2/17

[Meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

Slowest day of our first week; banded only 6 birds plus caught 1 other from a prior year:

House Wren, 1 new, 1 banded 2015 (and recaught in 2016 on 5/3)

Hermit Thrush 2

Orange-crowned Warbler 2

Spotted Towhee 1

Reminder that we will be open tomorrow, May 3 (assuming it doesn't rain),but then CLOSED Thur through Sat of this week. 

The banding station runs daily, weather permitting, through June 1 (except for May 4-6 and 29), 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!
