[cobirds] RMBO Banding Station Report, Chatfield, 5/8/13

Opened nets under cool grey skies this morning.   After 2 hours and 7 birds, it started to sprinkle so we closed up.  As we headed out, the drizzle stopped and it cleared up a bit, but we could see dark grey in the west, and, given the slowness of bird activity, we decided to call it a day.  Our 5 first captures (the other 2 birds were birds we’d banded earlier this year) were:

 

House Wren       1 return, banded 5/27/11

Orange-crowned Warbler            1

Song Sparrow    1

Lincoln’s Sparrow             1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambels          1

 

Tomorrow promises to be more of the same weather; we’ll likely be making an early morning decision about whether to open.

 

And, again, just a REMINDER:  We will be CLOSED Friday and Saturday, then open starting Sunday through June 2.
