Spring banding is officially underway at our Chatfield Banding Station! I'm pleased to report that opening day species were pretty much exactly what we should be catching at this time of year - mostly year-round residents in breeding condition, a few early migrants, either returning to breed or passing through, and a lone White-crowned Sparrow that likely wintered at Chatfield and will soon begin its migration. May this trend continue!!
Here is the breakdown of the 14 birds caught today:
Black-capped Chickadee 4 new, 1 banded in 2024 House Wren 1 Common Yellowthroat 1 Spotted Towhee 2 Lincoln's Sparrow 1 Song Sparrow 3 White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1
We are banding Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays) through May 31, weather permitting. There are opportunities for the public to visit on weekends and occasional weekdays through the Denver Audubon website <https://www.denveraudubon.org/calendar>. (Some days are already sold out, so sign up now if you are interested!)
