The pattern of Week One continued today, with the same early migrants dominating - House Wrens, Yellow-rumped Warblers, and Lincoln's Sparrows.  

Here's the breakdown of today's 25 new and return captures:

Downy Woodpecker 1
Black-capped Chickadee 1 banded 2019
House Wren 8 new, 2 banded 2022
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 3
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 5
Spotted Towhee 1 banded 2021
Lincoln's Sparrow 3
Song Sparrow 1

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.)
