[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/24/16

Tuesday we welcomed to the banding station not just our daily school group, but the Tuesday Birders and then international visitors who had been attending the International Rangers Conference in Estes Park.  Our total bird count for the day was 23 new and 2 returns:

Western Wood-pewee 5

House Wren 2

Gray Catbird 1

Yellow Warbler 4

Yellow-breasted Chat 1

Song Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 2

Black-headed Grosbeak 1

Red-winged Blackbird 3 new, 2 returns (from 2011 and 2013)

Brown-headed Cowbird 1

American Goldfinch 1

Lesser Goldfinch 1

Open daily, weather permitting, through June 2, EXCEPT for May 30. It is almost always better to visit early in the morning. We are opening nets at 6:30, and most days will have birds back at the station by 7:15. There are school groups every weekday, arriving about 9:45. We aim to close by noon most days, earlier if it is very hot, very cold, or very windy.
