Bird Conservancy of the Rockies- Chico Basin Ranch Banding Report 9/7/21

[Nancy Ransom]

Wow! Today was extremely busy with 91 captures. At one point I was a little bogged down and had to release some birds so I could catch up with the volume. Compared to yesterday we had 91 captures over 13 species compared to 40 with 23 yesterday, so diversity went down! Today I also recorded a banding demo that is going to be available at the Western Bird Banding Association Online Conference this Saturday. If you have any questions, please send them my way.
