The banding station runs daily, weather permitting, through June 1 (except Memorial Day), from 7:00 to approximately 11:30. WEEKEND visitors should PRE-REGISTER at Denveraudubon.org. We have been very busy through this weekend but I understand there are plenty of openings for next weekend, the last of the season, so if you've been waiting now is the time!  Weekdays school groups arrive around10; early weekday mornings are the time to drop in for a peaceful visit with us and the birds!
