[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Chatfield Banding Station, 5/14/24

Had a good banding day, with a nice mix of species early in the morning to share with the Tuesday Birders, who made their annual visit to the station.  A total of 19 new birds, 4 returns, a total of 16 species, 3 of which were first of season.  My favorites were a dainty Marsh Wren, a species rarely caught at the station, and a return American Redstart female who was banded as an adult in 2019, making her at least 7 years old.  Our small breeding group of Redstarts includes some hardy birds!

Here's the breakdown:

Dusky Flycatcher 1

Least Flycatcher 1 FOS

Bushtit 1

House Wren 2

Marsh Wren 1 FOS

Gray Catbird 4 new, 1 banded 2022

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Yellow Warbler 1 new, 1 banded 2021

American Redstart 1 new, 1 banded 2019

Common Yellowthroat 2

Wilson's Warbler 1

Yellow-breasted Chat 1 return

Spotted Towhee 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

We are banding Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) through May 31, weather permitting.  You can register to visit on the weekends through the Denver Audubon website.  (Some times/days are sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
