[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Banding Report, Chatfield 4-24-21

For our opening day at Chatfield this spring, we caught 12 birds, all entirely predictable species for this time of year:

Year-round residents:

Black-capped Chickadee 3 new, 1 banded 4/25/19
Spotted Towhee 1 banded 5/4/19
Song Sparrow 1

Likely winter residents, still hanging around:

Mountain White-crowned Sparrow 1, looking quite bedraggled
Pink-sided Dark-eyed Junco 1

Early migrants

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 2  beautiful adult males, caught together, first run of the morning
Lincoln Sparrow 2

It is great to be back to more-or-less normal banding, after not being able to run the station last year due to COVID.  We will be open six days per week (closed Tuesdays) through May 30.

While some COVID related restrictions remain in place, there are opportunities most mornings for the public to visit, but reservations are required.  Visit https://denveraudubon.org/events/ for more information and to sign-up.  Because each hour-long session is limited to 10 people, we anticipate selling out most mornings, so register soon if you are interested!
