[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chatfield Station, 4-27-18

We were glad to have the sun return for our 3rd slow early banding day.  A Bald Eagle was seen a couple of times, and a Cooper's Hawk spent most of the morning perched in a nearby tree.  A small flock of White-crowned Sparrows passed through early in the morning; we caught 3 of them.  A large flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers came through high up in the trees so we missed all of them.  10 new birds and 1 banded in a prior year:

Black-capped Chickadee 1, banded in 2015 and recaught in 2016 and 17

House Wren 2

Spotted Towhee 2

Lincoln's Sparrow 3

White-crowned Sparrow, Mountain 3

Come visit! Station is open daily, weather permitting, through the end of May, except for May 10-12 and 28. We open nets about 6:30 and close around noon. If you would like to visit on a weekend, you must pre-register - go to the Audubon Society of Greater Denver website. http://www.denveraudubon.org/  Perhaps the best time for birders to visit is early in the morning during the week - fewer people and more birds! (School groups arrive each day between 9:30 and 10:30.)
