This is a belated report from Sunday (today, Monday, is our day off).
Not a banner day, but some good things: Our first flycatchers - a Say's Phoebe, which has likely been around for weeks, and a Dusky, about 4 days late for the start of Empids, which isn't too terrible. We also caught 6 more returns - birds that had been banded at Chatfield in a prior year, migrated south for the winter and then returned. The oldest was a Yellow Warbler, banded as an adult in 2021, and recaught each year since.
Here's the breakdown of the 9 banded and the 6 returns:
Dusky Flycatcher 1 Say's Phoebe 1 Northern House Wren 1 new, 1 banded last year Gray Catbird 2 new, 2 returns, both banded in 2023 Yellow Warbler 1 new, 3 returns, 1 banded last year, 1 in 23 and 1 in 21 (see above) Yellow-breasted Chat 1 White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1 Red-winged Blackbird 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!)
