[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, Chatfield Banding Station - May 16, 2023

I'm sorry to say we didn't even get a taste of the wonderfully wild banding activity at Chico!  We were rained out on Sunday (third day in a week) and off on Monday and then today was very slow starting.  Picked up a bit as the morning went on but never got busy......only 24 new and returning birds caught, most of them likely breeders at Chatfield:

House Wren 1

Swainson's Thrush 1 (yes, just 1, FOS)

Gray Catbird 4 new, 1 banded 2021

Yellow Warbler 4, all returns, 3 banded 2022, 1 banded 2021

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 1

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 2

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Intergrade 1

Common Yellowthroat 4

Yellow-breasted Chat 2

Western Tanager 1 (FOS)

Green-tailed Towhee 1

Brown-headed Cowbird 1 (FOS)

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.)
