[cobirds] RMBO Banding Station Report, Chatfield, 5/25/13

Had about 4 nice hours this morning – sunny, no wind – before the heat set in and we began closing about 10:45.  Banded 21 new and caught 4 Yellows banded in prior seasons.  The star of the morning was a Yellow-billed Cuckoo.  Here’s the breakdown:

 

Yellow-billed Cuckoo      1

Least Flycatcher                2

Gray Catbird       3

Yellow Warbler 7 new, 4 returns (2 banded in 2012, 1 in 2011, and 1 in 2007)

MacGillivray’s Warbler   2

Yellow-breasted Chat    2

Lincoln’s Sparrow             1

Lazuli Bunting    1

Red-winged Blackbird    1

American Goldfinch        1

 

Open daily, weather permitting, through June 2.  (Usually have our first birds back at the banding station by 7:30, will likely start closing between 10:30-11 because of the heat.)
