Last Day of spring banding at Chico Basin Ranch! Sad day to be ending but the birds said we are pretty much done migrating and taking up our breeding responsibilities. We will return in late August to catch the birds on their southern trip to the wintering grounds.

Swainson's Thrush- 1

House Finch- 2

Ladder-backed woodpecker-1

Orchard Oriole- 1

Bullock's Oriole- 1

Hope t see you all in the fall. Thanks again to the many volunteers who helped with the project. Thanks to Flying Diamond for their hospitality and patience when birders got lost on the ranch... We hope to have better signage to lessen folks getting lost.

Have a good summer!
