Bird Conservancy of the Rockies-Chico Basin Ranch 9/1/22

[Chicobander]

Wilson's Warbler and Western Wood-Pewee made up the bulk of the catch today at the banding station. An early fall migrant the Blue Grosbeak made a visit to our nets. I thought they might be all gone. I have not heard or seen any Bullock's Orioles lately which are early migrants as well. Eleven bird species were captured.
