Caught 19 new birds today, plus 13 birds that had been previously caught this season.  Nothing unusual; all species that we should be catching in numbers at this time in the spring.  Here are the 19:

Northern House Wren 3

Gray Catbird 6

Yellow Warbler 1 new, 2 returns (1 banded in 2021, 1 in 2023)

Common Yellowthroat 2

Yellow-breasted Chat 1 new, 1 return (banded in 2023)

Spotted Towhee 1 new, 1 return (banded in 2021)

Song Sparrow 1

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!)
