We are appreciating this cooler than usual mid-May weather. Banded 27 today and 3 more returns from prior years under sunny but cool skies. Big year for Catbirds, still waiting for the influx of Yellow Warblers...

WEEKEND visitors should PRE-REGISTER at Denveraudubon.org. We were very busy through last weekend but I understand there are plenty of openings for next weekend, the last of the season, so if you've been waiting now is the time! Weekdays school groups arrive around 10; early weekday mornings are the time to drop in for a peaceful visit with us and the birds!
