We were having a very interesting morning before the drizzle did us in - 1 run a Black and White Warbler, the next an American Redstart, then a Western Tanager...... A total of 11 banded and 2 returns from prior years in a couple of cool grey hours:
Least Flycatcher (FOS) 1 Blue-grey Gnatcatcher 1 Virginia's Warbler 1 Yellow Warbler, 1 banded 2014 Black and White Warbler 1 (FOS, and we've never caught more than 1 in any year) American Redstart (FOS) 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 1 new, 1 banded 2015 Western Tanager (FOS) 1 Spotted Towhee 4 Hoping the rain expected tonight stops early enough so that we can get back out there tomorrow! 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!
