We were glad to have the sun return for our 3rd slow early banding day. A Bald Eagle was seen a couple of times, and a Cooper's Hawk spent most of the morning perched in a nearby tree. A small flock of White-crowned Sparrows passed through early in the morning; we caught 3 of them. A large flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers came through high up in the trees so we missed all of them. 10 new birds and 1 banded in a prior year:
Black-capped Chickadee 1, banded in 2015 and recaught in 2016 and 17 House Wren 2 Spotted Towhee 2 Lincoln's Sparrow 3 White-crowned Sparrow, Mountain 3 Come visit! Station is open daily, weather permitting, through the end of May, except for May 10-12 and 28. We open nets about 6:30 and close around noon. If you would like to visit on a weekend, you must pre-register - go to the Audubon Society of Greater Denver website. http://www.denveraudubon.org/ <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.denveraudubon.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cb11fc63b5582477cf34b08d5ac186ef1%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636604143300700752&sdata=PKmPp1CKnDpnZaqk4gVRbKGxUIzT%2F0BgUWYMvW%2BE6g8%3D&reserved=0> Perhaps the best time for birders to visit is early in the morning during the week - fewer people and more birds! (School groups arrive each day between 9:30 and 10:30.)
