Bird Conservancy Banding Report Chico Basin Ranch - 9/20/18

[Kim Geissler]

This morning was pretty windy and there were a few raindrops which kept numbers lower than usual. I didn't catch any new species, but I caught the second Red-naped Sapsucker of the season. The total was 37 new birds of 10 species. 

Here's the summary of newly banded birds for the day:

Wilson's Warbler: 16

Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 4

Hammond's Flycatcher: 1

Orange-crowned Wabler: 6

MacGillivray's Warbler: 1

Yellow-rumped Warbler: 3

Dusky Flycatcher: 1

Cassin's Vireo: 2

Hermit Thrush: 2

Red-naped Sapsucker: 1

You are welcome to visit the banding station. I'll be banding through the first week of October and nets will be open 6 days a week (Monday through Saturday). This week I'm opening nets at 6:50 and banding until 11:50 weather permitting.
