[Chicobander]

Another slow day at the Chico, waiting on a northerly wind to bring in some more birds.

We did catch a late Yellow Warbler which is nice to see. There were still some flycatchers and a Cassin's Kingbird. Did not hear any Red-breasted Nuthatches out there today.

Western Tanager banded 10 days ago- It has increased its fat and weight. :)
