Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/18/16

[meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

No surprise that we were rained out on Tuesday.  But the nets pretty much dried out over night and we were up and running on schedule this morning.  Again caught a good number of birds for this station, with 30 new and 1 return:

Western Wood-pewee 5 (FOS)

Least Flycatcher 1

Dusky Flycatcher 2

Northern Rough-winged Swallow 1 

House Wren 4

Swainson's Thrush 3

Gray Catbird 2

Virginia's Warbler 1

Yellow Warbler 1 new, 1 banded in 2014

MacGillivray's Warbler 3

Common Yellowthroat 3

Yellow-breasted Chat 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Red-winged Blackbird 1

Brown-headed Cowbird 1

Open daily, weather permitting, through June 2, EXCEPT for May 30. It is almost always better to visit early in the morning. We are opening nets at 6:30, and most days will have birds back at the station by 7:15. There are school groups every weekday, arriving about 9:45. We aim to close by noon most days, earlier if it is very hot, very cold, or very windy.
