We had a better morning today - the best day of the season so far. 16 new birds plus 2 returns, 11 species. Evergreen Audubon spent the early morning with us and got to see one of each of our most commonly caught species this time of year!
Yellow Warblers led this morning's collection; 3 new, 2 returns and 1 recap, all adult males - exactly what we would expect at this time of year. One of the returns was banded in 2022 as an adult male and recaught in both 2023 and 2024; this is definitely his breeding grounds!
Here's the breakdown of the 18 new birds today:
Black-capped Chickadee 1 White-breasted Nuthatch 1 Northern House Wren 3 Gray Catbird 2 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Yellow Warbler 3 new, 2 returns (1 banded in 2022, 1 in 2024) Common Yellowthroat 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 1 Spotted Towhee 1 Song Sparrow 1 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!)
