Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chico Basin Ranch, 9/20/19

[Robert Snowden]

A very quiet morning today: no visitors, no volunteers, and few birds around the banding station. While the weather was calm the first few hours, it was easily the slowest day of the season so far, with just 6 newly-banded birds and 1 recapture. I suspect that last night's strong southerly breezes weren't very conducive for migrants, among other factors. 

Today's summary:

Wilson's Warbler 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

House Wren 1

Western Tanager 1

Gray Catbird 1

Willow/Alder ("Traill's") Flycatcher 1 (within-season recapture)

We are open 6 days a week, closed on Sundays.. Tomorrow we'll be opening nets at 6:40 AM and closing at 11:40 AM, and starting next week net will be opened at 6:50 AM. Visitors are welcome!
