Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Chico Basin Ranch Daily Update 9/2/21

[Nancy Ransom]

This morning was extremely dewy and cold, and although many birds were vocalizing we did not catch birds until the 2nd and 3rd net rounds. Some highlights for an eastern birder included a Calliope Hummingbird and Rufous Hummingbird in the net, and we also had two new species for the season: a Cassin's Kingbird and Western Flycatcher. Birdcast by Cornell is predicting high migration intensity for tomorrow so fingers crossed we get a lot of migrants. One of our volunteers also painted a Lazuli bunting in hopes that I will catch one! 

Daily captures for 9/2:

Wilson's Warbler 10

Orange-crowned Warbler 1

Western Flycatcher 1

Chipping Sparrow 10

MacGillivary's Warbler 1

House Wren 2 

Northern Waterthrush 1

Blue Grosbeak 1

Yellow-breasted Chat 1 

Gray Catbird 3

Brown Thrasher 2Red-eyed Vireo 1

We are open 6 days a week at Chico Basin Ranch (closed Sunday), usually returning from the first net run around 7am and staying open until about 11:30am, weather permitting. Feel free to come out and meet me! I will be banding at Chico this season. My name is Nancy

I meant to type Cassin's Vireo! My mistake
