Chico Basin Ranch Banding Report- May 1, 2024

[Chicobander]

This morning sported cooler temperatures which I am not sure that has anything to do with our captures. Eleven birds were banded including 7 species. A Black-and-White Warbler was also observed near the banding station. A large flock of Chipping sparrows and a couple Lark Sparrows were at the west end of Olive grove along road.

Remember Chico Basin is open to a limited number of people each day during this month. Please go to the Aiken Audubon Website to register for a morning to visit. There is a registration fee.
