[cobirds] RMBO Chatfield Banding Update, 4/29/15

Very slow day, but we had our first warblers:

House Wren 3
Orange-crowned Warbler 2 (FOS in 2014 was 5/9)
Common Yellowthroat 1 (FOS in 2014 was 5/6)
Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Last year's first warblers were Yellow-rumpeds.  They were around the station today, but up high in the trees.

We will be open daily,weather permitting, through May 31, EXCEPT for May 8-9. We will be opening nets at 6:30, and should have the first birds
back at the station by 7:30. We will close by noon most days; earlier if it is too hot. On most days, you will see more birds if you come early, and will
be more likely to avoid crowds. On weekdays, we have school groups visiting every day, and they usually arrive at the station sometime between
9:30 and 10 a.m.
