All kinds of "more thans...." probably occurred today; let's just go with a wild day after 3 days of stormy weather. 96 new birds of 17 species, 8 of which were new for the season:
Least Flycatcher 2 Hammond's Flycatcher 3 Dusky Flycatcher 23 Gray Flycatcher 1 (I'm sure this is more Empids in one day ever at Chat) Violet-green Swallow 1 Northern Rough-winged Swallow 1 House Wren 5 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 11 Orange-crowned Warbler 5 Virginia's Warbler 4 Yellow Warbler 2, 1 banded in 2016, 1 banded 2018 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 9 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon 22 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Intergrade 2 Black and White Warbler 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 1 White-crowned Sparrow, Mountain 1 Brown-headed Cowbird 1 Whew! We will be open daily, WEATHER PERMITTING, through May 31, except for Memorial Day. We are opening nets at 6:30, and most days will have birds back at the station by 7:15. We aim to close by noon most days, earlier if it is very hot, very cold, or very windy. Registration is required for all weekend visitors; see the Denver Audubon website to sign up. Individuals may visit weekdays without registering before the school groups arrive, which is usually around 10 a.m. Come visit!
