I’ve had an adult male Hooded Warbler in Shooks Run Park the last two mornings. He’s been in the riparian growth along the creek to the north of the intersection of Willamette and El Paso, singing actively.

[cobirds] Chatfield Banding Station, Bird Conservancy of the Rockies 5-27-26
We had a busy first hour as the birds dashed about before the drizzle started. We were able to open again a couple of hours later but the birds weren't nearly as active. So, a modest but nice day.
Most exciting bird was a Yellow Warbler, historically our most often caught species. Those of you who have visited the station know we pretty carefully track the return of these beautiful birds. Today we caught a female that we had banded as an adult in 2017, so she hatched in 2015 or before. She just joined our longevity hall of fame!
Here's the breakdown of today's 20 new and 3 returns:
Western Wood-pewee 7
Black-capped Chickadee 1, banded 2025
Northern House Wren 1, banded 2023
Swainson's Thrush 1
Gray Catbird 3
Yellow Warbler 6 new, 1 return (see above)
Wilson's Warbler 1
Western Tanager 1
Song Sparrow 1
We are banding Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) through May 31, weather permitting. There are opportunities for the public to visit on weekends and early mornings most weekdays. Reservations are required and can be made through the Denver Audubon website. (Many/most sessions are already sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)

Re: [cobirds] recent posts to COBIRDS
I spent about 4 hours composing a post to COBIRDS this morning and then received a message from GoogleGroups that it couldn’t be sent because it was too big. After a bleep-punctuated period of frustration that my apartment neighbors probably overheard, I sat down and composed a smaller one. Now I see that BOTH posts went out. Sorry for the duplication but it’s not my fault.

[cobirds] Chatfield Banding Station, Bird Conservancy of the Rockies 5-26-26
A pleasantly cool and cloudy day, it was wonderful to be out! We kept busy with new birds (26), returning birds (4) and birds that we had already caught this season that breed at Chat (18).
Best bird of the day was a FOS Cedar Waxwing, that we had banded in 2024; I don't think we've ever had a repeat CEDW before.
The goldfinch appear to have paired up; we caught a pair of Lessers side by side in a net, and a bit later a pair of Americans.
Here's the breakdown of our new and returns today:
Western Wood Pewee 1
Western Flycatcher 1
Northern House Wren 1 banded 2023, female sitting on eggs
Swainson's Thrush 2
Gray Catbird 4 new, 1 banded 2025
Cedar Waxwing 1 banded 2024
Orange-crowned Warbler 1
Yellow Warbler 11 new, 1 banded 2023
Spotted Towhee 1, female on eggs
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
Lesser Goldfinch 2
American Goldfinch 2
We are banding Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) through May 31, weather permitting. There are opportunities for the public to visit on weekends and early mornings most weekdays. Reservations are required and can be made through the Denver Audubon website. (Many/most sessions are already sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
