Another busy day at Chico Basin Ranch. This morning a school group came for a field trip at the station, so I shut a couple of my nets to talk with them about banding and the data I collect. We still managed to band 61 birds of 17 species:

MacGillivray's Warbler: 12

Dusky Flycatcher: 2

Yellow Warbler: 5

Warbling Vireo: 1

House Wren: 2

Ovenbird:2

Lincoln's Sparrow: 5

Hermit Thrush: 8

House Finch: 1

Swainson's Thrush: 7

Western Tanager: 5

"Gambel's" White-crowned Sparrow: 1 

Spotted Towhee: 1

Bullock's Oriole: 6

Gray Catbird:1

Green-tailed Towhee: 1

Brown Thrasher: 1

 

We are open 6 days a week (closed Sundays), weather permitting. This week we'll be opening nets around 6:10 and closing around 11:10. 
Come visit!
