Well, nothing like the El Paso County experiences of today, but we did have a more normal morning for this time in the season.  We banded 26 birds plus had 3 new returns from previous seasons, including 5 FOS, 1 of which we've only caught once before at Chatfield.  Great experience for a group of middle schoolers from Colorado Academy, followed by several groups of 4th graders.  Lots of fun and education.

Here are the birds:

Warbling Vireo 1 FOS

House Wren 4

Gray Catbird 2

Orange-crowned Warbler 2

Nashville Warbler 1 (Only 1 caught previously in the history of the station, in 2013)

Yellow Warbler 1 new, 3 banded previously - 1 in each 2021, 2022, and 2023

MacGillivray's Warbler 2 FOS

Common Yellowthroat 5

Yellow- breasted Chat 1 FOS

Green-tailed Towhee 2

Clay-colored Sparrow 1 FOS

Lincoln's Sparrow 4

Hoping we don't get rained out tomorrow!

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!)
