A lovely morning at the Chatfield Banding Station - 38 new birds and 1 return, total of 15 species. Started the day with FOS Cedar Waxwings and a Marsh Wren. Here's the breakdown for the day:
Western Wood-pewee 1 Least Flycatcher 2 Dusky Flycatcher 3 House Wren 3 Marsh Wren 1 Swainson's Thrush 1 Gray Catbird 1 Cedar Waxwing 2 Yellow Warbler 6 new, 1 return (Banded 2012) MacGillivray's Warbler 4 Common Yellowthroat 6 Wilson's Warbler 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 3 Lincoln's Sparrow 3 Dark-eyed Junco, Slate-colored 1 (Yes, we caught a Junco on 5/23. It had some kind of strange, hard "growth" on its upper mandible. Although it otherwise appeared active and okay, there is a real question about its health.) Hope this activity, which looks more like migration than any time in the last 3 weeks, continues for a few days! Open daily, weather permitting, through June 2.
