Ovenbird - 1

Swainson's Thrush - 7

Hermit Thrush - 1

Lazuli Bunting - 1

Blue Grosbeak - 1

Yellow-breasted Chat - 1

Tomorrow will be our final day of the spring banding season! Chico Basin Ranch is once again open to the public and visitors are welcome at the banding station, click here for more details on visiting. We are opening nets at about 5:20am and continuing for 5 hours, depending on weather.
