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

We had the busiest day of our very slow season today, driven by a big influx of summer residents - birds that migrated south for the winter and have returned to Chatfield to breed - led by Yellow Warblers, Common Yellowthroats and Gray Catbirds.  A total of 49 new captures:

Hammond's Flycatcher 1 FOS

Dusky Flycatcher 2

House Wren 3

Swainson's Thrush 1

Gray Catbird 7 new, 2 returns (1 banded in 2021, 1 in 2023)

Yellow Warbler 11 new, 4 returns (1 banded in 2021, 3 in 2022)

Northern Waterthrush 1 FOS

Common Yellowthroat 8 new, 1 return (banded 2023)

Yellow-breasted Chat 1 return (banded 2023)

Green-tailed Towhee 1

Song Sparrow 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 2

White-crowned Sparrow, Mountain 3

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!)
