Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Chico Basin Ranch Daily Update 9/22/21

[Nancy Ransom]

Wow! The drop in captures overnight was significant, with only ten captures today. It looks like there was a storm-front that moved through from the west and it pushed the birds further south (or east) than anticipated. Tomorrow we should have some school groups visiting and are looking forward to the opportunity to teach students! Thank you so much to Camille, who has helped me for the last few days with banding and data entry! 

Chico captures for 9/22/21: 

Wilson's Warbler 5

Chipping Sparrow 1

Pink-sided Junco/ Dark-eyed Junco 1 

Swainson's Thrush 1 

Song Sparrow 1

Sharp-shinned Hawk 1 

We are open 6 days a week at Chico Basin Ranch (closed Sunday), usually returning from the first net run around 7am and staying open until about 11:30am, weather permitting. Thank you for your continued support!
