Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chico Basin Ranch, 9/26/19

[Robert Snowden]

There was a hint of fall briskness in the air this morning, but a persistent south breeze kept the birds hunkered down and forced some of our most productive nets to close early. That made for a markedly slower day than yesterday's business, with 18 banded birds, 2 recaptures, and 11 total species. A Vesper's Sparrow was the day's most unique capture.

The summary:

Wilson's Warbler 3 + 1 recapture

Ruby-crowned Kinglet 3

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 3

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Hermit Thrush 3

Song Sparrow 1

Vesper Sparrow 1

White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1

Brown Thrasher 1

Spotted Towhee 1 recapture

We are open 6 days a week, closed on Sundays. This week we're opening nets at 6:50 AM and closing at 11:50 AM, weather permitting. Come visit!
