Chatfield continues to be quiet; banded 5 new birds plus we caught 1 banded last year and 1 banded earlier this season:
House Wren 3 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 Song Sparrow 1 (Banded 4/26/14) American Goldfinch 1 F new, 1 M banded 4/28 When we caught the male AMGO the first time on 4/28, he was side-by-side in the net with a female. After we banded him, he waited in a nearby tree for the female,and we watched the 2 go off together, thinking romantic human thoughts about courtship, etc. Well, when we recaught the guy today, in the same net, he was side by side with the new female! This guy seems to be gettin' around! We will be open daily,weather permitting, through May 31, EXCEPT for May 8-9. We will be opening nets at 6:30, and should have the first birds back at the station by 7:30. We will close by noon most days; earlier if it is too hot. On most days, you will see more birds if you come early, and will be more likely to avoid crowds. On weekdays, we have school groups visiting every day, and they usually arrive at the station sometime between 9:30 and 10 a.m. Meredith McBurney Chatfield Banding Station Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
