We wrapped up our 3-week fall season at the Chatfield banding station last week, though we were rained out on Tues so just banded on Thurs and Sat. Too bad, because when out at the site on Tues morning getting rained on, it was quite birdy with mixed sparrow flocks and Yellow-rumped Warblers. The other two days were quite slow, consistent with the slow season we've been having at Barr Lake and our other Front Range sites. We banded just 16 birds combined on Thurs and Sat, of 6 species:
Black-capped Chickadee - 1 Song Sparrow - 1 Brewer's Sparrow - 1 Intermediate White-crowned Sparrow - 1 (this one had very a slight dark supraloral line like a 'Mountain' but the bill color was more yellowish a la 'Gambel's') Spotted Towhee - 7 Orange-crowned Warbler - 5
Thus concludes our pilot fall banding season at Chatfield, in partnership with Denver Audubon. Thanks to all the folks that were able to come out to visit and to our volunteers for helping get this station up and running this Fall. We'll be back here for our Spring season in late April.
