We had another relatively slow, early spring day, with 22 new banded, 2 returns from last year:

We will be banding mornings Tuesday through Sunday (closed on Mondays) through May 31.  Denver Audubon has scheduled one-hour time slots at 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30 for visitors on weekends; visit here to register.  (I believe many time slots are already sold out, so register soon if you would like to visit.)
