Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Chatfield Banding Report, 5/7/22

[Meredith McBurney]

A slower day - the flocks of Yellow-rumpeds we've been seeing and catching seemed to have moved on.  We closed most nets a little early due to heat and wind.  Only banded 13, plus we caught 2 birds banded in prior years:

House Wren 5

Yellow Warbler 3

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 1

Common Yellowthroat 1

Yellow-breasted Chat 1 new, plus 1 banded 2019

Spotted Towhee 1 new, 1 banded 2018

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

We are open 6 mornings per week, closed on Mondays.  Registration is required to visit on the weekends - there are three 1 hour sessions, starting at 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30.  Go here to register.  There are school groups every week day, arriving about 9:30.  Individuals may drop by early mornings during the week although there are groups visiting early on some days.
