Four more days of spring migration banding at Chico Basin Ranch. Many thanks to Ranchlands who operate the ranch for allowing us the opportunity to do our research and for providing housing. They do an excellent job with habitat conservation on the ranch. Friday we will operate the nets and then take down the station.

Enjoy the day!
