[cobirds] Chatfield Banding Station - Bird Conservancy of the Rockies 5/27/25

Fog - Planes were not flying at DIA and birds were not flying at Chatfield.  The soup lifted about 10 a.m. but the birds remained scarce - banded only 13 new birds plus caught 1 more return (a Yellow Warbler banded in 2021).  Had 22 recaptures of birds caught previously this season - I think the first day with more recaps than new birds.

Here are the 14 new birds:

Downy Woodpecker 1 (female on eggs)

Dusky Flycatcher 1

Northern House Wren 1 (female on eggs)

Swainson's Thrush 2

Gray Catbird 2

Yellow Warbler 4 new, 1 return

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Red-winged Blackbird 1 (female on eggs)

We will be running the station through Saturday.  Our final week of the season!
