Bird Conservancy of the Rockies- Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station-9/15/22

[Chicobander]

The Wilson's Warbler has made sure that we remember it is important during September. It is obvious that many migratory songbirds rely on the river corridors, greenways and other stopover locations to make it to their southern wintering grounds. Thankful Colorado assists these birds along their way south! Twenty-four species of birds captured today including another Ovenbird and a Mourning Dove.
