[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield, 5/13/17

A lovely if warm day.  Banded 20 plus caught 7 more birds banded in prior years.  Highlights of the day were an Ovenbird, Northern Rough-winged Swallow, and a pair of Bullock's Orioles, caught together in the net.  Here's the breakdown:

The banding station runs daily, weather permitting, through June 1 (except Memorial Day), from 7:00 to approximately 11:30. There have been some changes in WEEKEND visiting policies - If you are planning a weekend visit, I strongly encourage you to go to Denveraudubon.org to get more information and guarantee your spot by PRE-REGISTERING. Weekdays are the same as in the past - school groups arrive between 9:30 and 10; early weekday mornings are the best time for a peaceful visit with us and the birds!
