The morning started nicely for early spring, and then things just stopped. An Audubon person said she saw a Cooper's Hawk, which could have been the cause. At any rate, after 8:30, we caught three birds banded over the weekend, and that was it.
Before that we have our first Wilson's Warblers (4 of them) and our first Hermit Thrush, two more of our usual first week species. Here's the breakdown of the 11 new birds caught today: House Wren 2 Hermit Thrush 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler, Audubon's 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler, hybrid 1 Wilson's Warbler 4 White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1 We are open 6 mornings per week, closed on Mondays. Registration is required to visit on the weekends - there are three 1 hour sessions, starting at 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30. Go here <https://denveraudubon.org/events/> to register. There are school groups every week day, arriving about 9:30. Individuals may drop by early mornings during the week although there are groups visiting early on some days.
