Very chilly for the first couple of hours and then quickly got quite warm. Very quiet in terms of birds throughout the morning, with a total of 7 new birds caught. (I went back to prior years - 2021 through 2025 - and determined that this slow period at the beginning of the season has existed in each of those years. How quickly we forget, and hoping things will pick up soon!)
Here's a breakdown of the 7 new birds:
Black-capped Chickadee 1 Northern House Wren 1 American Robin 1 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1 Red-winged Blackbird 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 early mornings most weekdays. Reservations are required and can be made through the Denver Audubon website <https://www.denveraudubon.org/calendar>. (Many/most sessions are already sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
