Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station Report- Bird Conservancy of the Rockies-5/3/2025

[Chicobander]

A brisk morning with frost on the ground turned into a beautiful day. More bird activity at the banding station, but they were mainly higher in the trees. The White-eyed Vireo is still singing around the banding station. As we were closing the nets, Volunteers viewed two Long-eared Owls in the olive grove and were able to get photos.

New banded species for the season were Gray Catbird, Spotted Towhee, and a MacGillivray's Warbler.
