Subject: [cobirds] Chatfield Banding Station, Bird Conservancy of the Rockies 5-15-26


Today was about Catbirds - 15 new, 1 return. This is the species that for
the first time last year was our most caught species (122, compared with
120 Yellow Warblers, our normal #1 species). Seems to be working on being
#1 for a second year!

Totals for the day were 26 newly banded plus 5 returns; a fairly short list
of species:

Northern House Wren 3
Gray Catbird 15 new, 1 banded 2025
Yellow Warbler 2 new, 3 banded 2025, 1 banded 2024
MacGillivray's Warbler 1
Yellow-breasted Chat 2
Spotted Towhee 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 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
<https://www.denveraudubon.org/calendar>. (Many/most sessions are already
sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
