Lots of visitors today, and a nice variety of birds to keep us occupied. Treats of the day were 3 flycatcher species - Western Wood-pewee, Least and Dusky Flycatchers - in the same run, which made for a great educational experience, and a lovely pair of Bullock's Orioles (FOS). Here's the breakdown for the day:
Western Wood-pewee 1 Least Flycatcher 1 Dusky Flycatcher 1 Black-capped Chickadee 1, banded 2017 American Robin 1 Gray Catbird 4 Yellow Warbler 4 new, 3 returns, 1 banded in each 2015, 16, and 17 Yellow-breasted Chat 2 Song Sparrow 1 Red-winged Blackbird 1 return, still searching for banding date Bullock's Oriole 2 Lesser Goldfinch 1 Come visit! Station is open daily, weather permitting, through the end of May, except for Memorial Day. 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. 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 10:00 and 10:30.)
