Bird Conservancy Banding Report- Chico Basin Ranch 4/29

[Genevieve Day]

April 29

Today was a cold and overcast day for spring banding, winds picked up as the morning continued on. Notably, Swainson's Thrush moved into the area last night or on the night of the 28th as no banding was done yesterday. Black-and-White Warblers were seen in the vicinity of the banding station today as well but none were captured in our nets. Today we banded 19 birds of 7 species:

Orange-crowned Warbler : 3

Yellow-rumped "Myrtle" Warbler: 2

Yellow-rumped "Audubon's" Warbler: 1

Lincoln's Sparrow: 2

Hermit Thrush:1

Swainson's Thrush: 7 

American Robin: 3 

We are open 6 days a week (closed Sundays), weather permitting. This week we'll be opening nets around 6:20 and closing around 11:20. 
Come visit!
