While banding at Chatfield this spring we played with Merlin quite a bit
since we had to stay out in the net lanes monitoring for a
misbehaving Bobcat. Merlin often mistook Yellow Warbler for Redstart. It
did get the Redstarts correct when they called. There are several Yellow

All males here as well, both along the South Platte in Denver and on the
Barr Lake CBC. Definitely a mix of young and adult plumaged birds. And
