Bird Conservancy of the Rockies- Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station Report- October 4, 2024

[Chicobander]

Last day of banding this fall ....sad day but a good day. We caught a first for the year Nashville Warbler and another Dusky Flycatcher to end the season. Many thanks for the assistance of the volunteers who made this season operate smoothly! And also many thanks to the birders who have shared their knowledge about Colorado birds and your sightings. I cannot thank you enough.
