After 4 days off for weather and other work obligations, it was great to be back out again. We returned to a wonderful mix of new birds (25) and birds banded here in prior years (10). Five first of season species:
Warbling Vireo (FOS) 1 Black-capped Chickadee 1, banded in 2016 House Wren 12 new, 1 banded in 2016,1 in 2014 Yellow Warbler (FOS) 4 new, 3 banded in 2016, 1 in 2013 Northern Waterthrush (FOS) 1 MacGillivray's Warbler (FOS) 1 Common Yellowthroat 2 new, 1 banded in 2013 Wilson's Warbler 2 Yellow-breasted Chat (FOS) 1 banded in 2016 Spotted Towhee 2 new, 1 banded in 2016 The banding station runs daily, weather permitting, through June 1 (except Memorial Day), from 7:00 to approximately 11:30. There have been some changes in WEEKEND visiting policies - If you are planning a weekend visit, I strongly encourage you to go to Denveraudubon.org to get more information and guarantee your spot by PRE-REGISTERING. Weekdays are the same as in the past - school groups arrive between 9:30 and 10; early weekday mornings are the best time for a peaceful visit with us and the birds!
