[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Chatfield Banding Report 4/29 & 30

Two of the slowest days ever, in probably the slowest week ever for spring migration here.  I hope migration is just late, or we are in for a dreary season!

Yesterday (Thursday) we banded 4 birds and had one return:

Black-capped Chickadee 1

White-breasted Nuthatch 1

Song Sparrow 1, banded 2018

Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon 1

Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 1

Today (Friday) we banded only 3 birds, but at least had a migrant:

Common Yellowthroat 1 (like Steve Brown, this was a late first arrival for this species)

Song Sparrow 1

Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 1

We are 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!
