Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Chatfield Banding Report, 5/3/22

[Meredith McBurney]

We had a slightly delayed and very slow opening this morning - it was chilly and cloudy and the nets were frosty after yesterday's rain.  Things picked up a bit about 9:30, providing our first morning dominated by warblers, including our FOS Redstart and Virginia's.  Here's the breakdown of the 20 new birds banded today:

House Wren 2

Virginia's Warbler 1

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 1

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 10

American Redstart 1

Wilson's Warbler 1

Spotted Towhee 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 3

 We are open 6 mornings per week, closed on Mondays.  Registration is required to visit on the weekends - there are three 1 hour sessions, starting at 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30.  Go here to register.  There are school groups every week day, arriving about 9:30.  Individuals may drop by early mornings during the week although there are groups visiting early on some days.
