A day similar to yesterday; birds slow but steady throughout the morning, primarily adding to the numbers of a few of our most commonly caught species - Catbirds, Chats and Yellow Warblers. An interesting capture was our 2nd Pine Siskin of the season - a male in breeding condition that is probably the mate to the female caught on May 1 (4th and 5th PISIs ever caught at the station).
Here's the breakdown of today's 27 new and 2 returns:
Western Wood-Pewee 1 FOS
Northern House Wren 2
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 1
Gray Catbird 5 new, 1 banded 2023
Yellow Warbler 5 new, 1 banded 2023
Northern Waterthrush 1
Wilson's Warbler 2
Yellow-breasted Chat 5
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
White-crowned Sparrow, Mountain 1
Pine Siskin 1
American Goldfinch 2
We are banding Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) through May 31, weather permitting. There are opportunities for the public to visit on weekends and early mornings most weekdays. Reservations are required and can be made through the Denver Audubon website. (Many/most sessions are already sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
