A typical opening day at the Chatfield Banding Station – few birds but lots of cheerful visitors, happy to be out enjoying a beautiful spring day. Banded six birds – 1 Hermit Thrush and 2 Spotted Towhees (arriving right on schedule) and 1 Common Yellowthroat (a full week earlier than its normal first capture at CHAT). 1 Black-capped Chickadee and a Robin. House Wrens are back and making lots of noise, but they stayed up high today.
Open daily (except for May 18-19), weather permitting, through June 3!
