[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 5/23/17

Our busiest day yet was also one of our most interesting - wide variety of species (20), 2 cool unusual species (a RED-EYED VIREO and a Pine Siskin), great mix of ages and sexes, more birds coming into breeding condition.  It was cool all morning, and the birds came in a steady stream.  A total of 59 new, 2 returns from prior years:

Western Wood-pewee 3

Hammond's Flycatcher (FOS) 1

Dusky Flycatcher 4

Warbling Vireo 2

Red-eyed Vireo 1

Northern Rough-winged Swallow 3

Violet-green Swallow 4

House Wren 3 new, 1 banded in 2016

Swainson's Thrush 3

Hermit Thrush 1

Gray Catbird 4

Cedar Waxwing 4

Yellow Warbler 9 new, 1 banded in 2015

MacGillivray's Warbler 2

Wilson's Warbler 4

Western Tanager 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 7

Bullock's Oriole 1

Pine Siskin 1

American Goldfinch 1

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 were very busy through last 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 around 10; early weekday mornings are the time to drop in for a peaceful visit with us and the birds!
