[cobirds] Chatfield Banding Station - Bird Conservancy of the Rockies 5/30/25

Wind interfered with the first couple of hours of banding this morning, probably reducing our numbers today.  Picked up only a bit after that.  A total of 18 new birds.  One new, "rarish" species - I refuse to put a House Finch on our truly rare list!!  They are almost never found in the area where our nets are.......wondering why he left his more likely territory around the feeders.

Anyway, here are the 18 new birds:

Northern House Wren 1
Swainson's Thrush 4
Gray Catbird 4
Yellow Warbler 2
Yellow-breasted Chat 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
Lazuli Bunting 1
House Finch 1
Lesser Goldfinch 2
American Goldfinch 1

We take the station down after banding tomorrow!
