[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Chatfield Banding Station, 4/26/24

We only caught 5 new birds today, but we recaptured 8 birds that had already been caught this season, so the early morning DFO trip, led by Charlie Chase, got to see up close a variety of birds, including year round residents (Black-capped Chickadee, Song Sparrow, Bushtit), possible summer breeders (Common Yellowthroat), winter resident (Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow), and migrants passing through (Orange-crowned Warbler, Lincoln's Sparrow).  

The 5 new birds were:

Black-capped Chickadee 1, banded 2022

Bushtit 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Song Sparrow 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

We are banding Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) through May 31, weather permitting (which means we may be closed tomorrow/Saturday).  You can register to visit on the weekends through the Denver Audubon website.  (The first couple of weekends are sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
