Date: 5/15/25 4:25 pm From: meredith <meredithmcburney...> Subject: [cobirds] Chatfield Banding Station - Bird Conservancy of the Rockies 5/15/25
A slower, quieter day than yesterday - quite cold (frost on some nets) when we opened at 6:30, and some blasts of wind during the morning, but mostly seemed like a continuation of the story of this season - not many birds. I think our best catch of the day was our first pre-Covid bird of the season - a Catbird banded in 2019 as a second year, so hatched in 2018.
Here are today's 11 first time captures (we also had 9 recaps):
Northern House Wren 1 Gray Catbird 4 new, 1 return (see above) Yellow Warbler 1 Wilson's Warbler 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 1 Spotted Towhee 1 American Goldfinch 1
We are banding Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) through May 31, weather permitting. There are opportunities for the public to visit on weekends and occasional weekdays through the Denver Audubon website <https://www.denveraudubon.org/calendar>. (Some days are already sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
