Unlike Chico, our numbers are not picking up; only 22 birds banded today. Nine of those were caught in our second run of the morning, which included our first Green-tailed Towhee and White-crowned Sparrow, and I thought we were in for a bigger day, but no....... Here are the 22 new birds:
Western Wood-Pewee 1
Warbling Vireo 1
House Wren 2
MacGillivray's Warbler 1
Wilson's Warbler 14
Green-tailed Towhee 1
Song Sparrow 1
White-crowned Sparrow, Gambel's 1
We are open 6 days a week, weather permitting through October 23. Closed Mondays. Click
