Chatfield Banding Station - Bird Conservancy of the Rockies 5/6/25

[meredith]

We were open for 1.5 hours before the rain started this morning - possibly the most productive 1.5 hours in the very slow season.  We caught 7 birds - 3 banded earlier this season,  2 Northern House Wrens, our 1st Chat of the season (right on schedule!!) and our 108th species for the station - a Summer Tanager (second year male).

We are banding Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) through May 31, weather permitting.  There are opportunities for the public to visit on weekends and occasional weekdays through the Denver Audubon website.  (Some days are already sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
