Today our bander Kim got a break from the action. A chilly and windy morning kept numbers low, though we did band the first Bewick's Wren of the season (and only 4th overall) for Chico. In total we banded 20 birds of 9 species.

Wilson's Warbler: 4

Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 3

Orange-crowned Warbler: 1

Bewick's Wren: 1

Yellow-rumped "Audubon's" Warbler: 1

"Pink-sided" Dark-eyed Junco:1

"Gray-headed" Dark-eyed Junco: 1

Hermit Thrush: 6

Blue Jay: 1

Brown Thrasher: 1

Yesterday (10/3) was quite windy and we opened nets only briefly. We banded just 2 birds all morning, both were Hermit Thrushes.

Tomorrow is our final day of banding at Chico Basin Ranch, we will have nets open from 7:00 until 12:00 weather permitting. You are more than welcome to visit!
