[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/16/17

We are approaching (at?) the peak of our migration season.  Today was the busiest this season; we banded 36 and caught 4 new birds banded in prior years.  Also lots of species:

Willow Flycatcher 1

House Wren 2

Swainson's Thrush (FOS) 1

Gray Catbird 9

Cedar Waxwing (FOS) 1

Virginia's Warbler 1

Yellow Warbler 8 new, 1 banded in 2016, 1 in 2014, 1 in 2013

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

Common Yellowthroat 1

Wilson's Warbler 1

Yellow-breasted Chat 4 new, 1 banded 2016

Spotted Towhee 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 4

White-crowned Sparrow, Mountain 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!
