Chico Basin Ranch birding on May 14th

[Brandon]

After being out of the state for a week, I got back to birding in Colorado a bit today.  

The Pueblo County side of Chico Basin Ranch (Headquarters and Rose Pond), male Black-throated Blue Warbler, Nashville Warbler, four Northern Waterthrush, American Redstart, Cassin's Vireo, singing Least Flycatchers.  

On the El Paso County side of ranch (banding station), singing male Hooded Warbler, male Magnolia Warbler, male Black-throated Gray Warbler, Northern Waterthrush. 

I ended with 13 species of warblers there today.

Just a reminder, any birders going to Chico Basin Ranch are required to pay $15 per person to visit the ranch each day they go there.  Most of us local birders have paid the annual fee of $125.  I am not sure if everyone who was out there today from out of town, signed in and paid.  If you aren't planning to pay, then please don't go there.  The people not paying, may ruin the birding for us local birders who go there often.
