[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, Chatfield Banding Station - May 23 & 24, 2023

We've moved into the part of spring when we are almost exclusively catching birds that are returning to Chatfield to breed - Tues our only for sure bird migrating through was a MacGillivray's Warbler; today we had one Lincoln's Sparrow.  Hoping the numbers of Catbirds, Chats, Yellow Warblers etc. continue and increase so that we are up to normal levels.  Here's Tuesday's 29 new birds:

House Wren 2 new, 1 banded 2022

Gray Catbird 11

Yellow Warbler 7

American Redstart 1

MacGillivray's Warbler 2

Common Yellowthroat 3

Yellow-breasted Chat 1

Spotted Towhee 1

And Wednesday's 25:

House Wren 1

Gray Catbird 6 new, 1 banded 2021

Yellow Warbler 6

American Redstart 1

Common Yellowthroat 3

Yellow-breasted Chat 1

Song Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Bullock's Oriole 4

We will be open Tuesday-Sunday, weather permitting, through the end of May.  Denver Audubon has scheduled one-hour time slots at 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30 for visitors on weekends; visit here to register.  (I believe many time slots are already sold out, so register soon if you would like to visit.)
