Chatfield Banding Station - Bird Conservancy of the Rockies 5/8/25

[meredith]

Like Chico, we banded 5 new birds today.  Plus caught 1 banded last year for 6 new birds this morning:

White-breasted Nuthatch 1

Gray Catbird 1 return, banded last year

Yellow Warbler 2

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Red-winged Blackbird 1

I've tried to think of something useful to say about this lack of migrants at our banding stations, but I can't.  Yet.  Continue to monitor........

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!)
