[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, Chatfield Banding Station - May 21, 2023

Whether the bad air quality from the fires or wind direction or something else, we had a slow day on Sunday/yesterday.  We were kept busy because we had a slew of recaptures of birds already caught/banded this season - birds were out and about, just very little new - of the new captures, only the lone Swainson's Thrush was for certain just stopping to refuel.

Here's the 14 new plus 2 returns:

Swainson's Thrush 1
Gray Catbird 6
Yellow Warbler 5 new, 1 banded 2019
American Redstart 1
Common Yellowthroat 1
Yellow-breasted Chat 1 banded 2022

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.)
