Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Chatfield Banding Station, 5/2/24

Low numbers continue.  Most migrating birds seem to be arriving about on schedule; they are just arriving in small numbers.  Caught our first Yellow Warbler today, which is about right.  Only 5 birds banded (plus recaught 6 birds banded earlier this season or before):

Downy Woodpecker 1

Yellow Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 2

We are banding Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) through May 31, weather permitting.  You can register to visit on the weekends through the Denver Audubon website.  (The first couple of weekends are sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
