Bird Conservancy Banding Report Chico Basin Ranch - 9/24/18

[Kim Geissler]

The wind was a bit of a limiting factor today, but there was a steady pace of birds. I banded more Wilson's Warbler than I did on Saturday, and I caught the season's second Ovenbird. The total was 52 birds banded of 11 species. I also had 5 recaps, including a Song Sparrow that was banded before this season.

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

Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 3

Wilson's Warbler: 29

Orange-crowned Warbler: 7

Audubon's Warbler: 4

House Wren: 1

Ovenbird: 1

Lincoln's Sparrow: 3

Song Sparrow: 1

Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow: 1

Blue Grosbeak: 1

American Robin: 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.
