[cobirds] RMBO Banding Station Report, Chatfield, 5/23/13

A lovely morning at the Chatfield Banding Station – 38 new birds and 1 return, total of 15 species.  Started the day with FOS Cedar Waxwings and a Marsh Wren.  Here’s the breakdown for the day:

 

Western Wood-pewee 1

Least Flycatcher                2

Dusky Flycatcher              3

House Wren       3

Marsh Wren       1

Swainson’s Thrush          1

Gray Catbird       1

Cedar Waxwing                2

Yellow Warbler 6 new, 1 return (Banded 2012)

MacGillivray’s Warbler   4

Common Yellowthroat  6

Wilson’s Warbler              1

Yellow-breasted Chat    3

Lincoln’s Sparrow             3

Dark-eyed Junco, Slate-colored 1 (Yes, we caught a Junco on 5/23.  It had some kind of strange, hard “growth” on its upper mandible.  Although it otherwise appeared active and okay, there is a real question about its health.)

 

Hope this activity, which looks more like migration than any time in the last 3 weeks, continues for a few days!

 

Open daily, weather permitting, through June 2.
