Chatfield Banding Station, Bird Conservancy of the Rockies 5-3-26

[Meredith McBurney]

Sunday was another very slow day, we banded only 3 birds and caught 2 others that had been banded in prior years:

Northern House Wren 1 new, 1 banded last year

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1

Spotted Towhee 1, a female with a brood patch, banded 4/29/23

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

Today is our normal day off; banding iffy for Tues and Wed due to potential bad weather.  Hoping for more birds soon!

We are banding Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) through May 31, weather permitting.  There are opportunities for the public to visit on weekends and early mornings most weekdays.  Reservations are required and can be made through the Denver Audubon website.  (Many/most sessions are already sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
