[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/14/17

Children of all ages brought their mothers to the banding station as part of the annual Mother's Day event sponsored by Audubon Society of Greater Denver.  They were treated to a nice array of our usual mid-May birds:

Downy Woodpecker (FOS) 1

Least Flycatcher 1, banded in 2016

House Wren 1 new, 1 banded in 2016

Gray Catbird 3

Yellow Warbler 5 new, 1 banded in 2016, 1 in 2013

American Redstart 1

Common Yellowthroat 1

Wilson's Warbler 1

Yellow-breasted Chat 1, banded 2016

Spotted Towhee 1

Bullock's Oriole 1

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!
