[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/5/18

Our slow to moderate pace continued, although the birds spaced themselves out nicely through the morning so we always had a bird or two to share with a very appreciative and interested crowd of Saturday visitors.  11 banded, plus 2 from prior years (plus another 4 caught for the 2nd time this year not listed here):

Downy Woodpecker 1

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

House Wren 5

Hermit Thrush 2

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Red-winged Blackbird 1

Come visit! Station is open daily, weather permitting, through the end of May, except for May 10-12 and 28. We open nets about 6:30 and close around noon. If you would like to visit on a weekend, you must pre-register - go to the Audubon Society of Greater Denver website. Perhaps the best time for birders to visit is early in the morning during the week - fewer people and more birds! (School groups arrive each day between 9:30 and 10:30.)
