Bird Conservancy Banding Report Chico Basin Ranch - 9/26/18

[Kim Geissler]

Yesterday I wasn't able to band because of strong winds. Today started off pretty cold and then the breeze picked up a bit later. The bird activity was much slower. I banded 30 birds of 12 species.

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

Wilson's Warbler: 12

Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 2

House Wren: 1

Warbling Vireo: 1

Orange-crowned Warbler: 1

Lincoln's Sparrow: 3

Cassin's Vireo: 1

Pink-sided Junco: 1

Hermit Thrush: 2

Song Sparrow: 3

Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow: 2

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.
