Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield, 4/27/17

[Meredith...@birdconservancy.org]

Colder, greyer and slower than yesterday.  Caught a few birds banded yesterday, plus 5 new and 4 more returns from prior years before getting rained out:

Black-capped Chickadee 1 banded in 2016, 1 in 2015

Bushtit 1

House Wren 1 new, 1 banded in 2016, 1 in 2015

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 2

Spotted Towhee 1

The banding station is runs daily, weather permitting, through June 1 (except for May 4-6 and 29), from 7:00 to approximately 11:30. There have been some changes in WEEKEND visiting policies - If you are planning a weekend visit, I strongly encourage you to go to denveraudubon.org to get more information and guarantee your spot by PRE-REGISTERING. Weekdays are the same as in the past - school groups arrive between 9:30 and 10; early weekday mornings are the best time for a peaceful visit with us and the birds!
