Things moved along at a moderate pace today until about 10:45, when the sun suddenly broke through the clouds, and every Catbird in the neighborhood decided to come out to play, joined by a Bullock's Oriole, a couple of Yellow Warblers, and a Warbling Vireo. Finished the day with 25 new and 3 banded in prior years:
Willow Flycatcher (FOS) 1 Warbling Vireo 1 Gray Catbird 9 new, 1 banded in 2016, 1 in 2015 Yellow Warbler 7 Common Yellowthroat 1 Wilson's Warbler 2 Yellow-breasted Chat 1 Spotted Towhee 1 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Bullock's Oriole 1 Lesser Goldfinch 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!
