We received a large amount of rain and thunderstorms last night, which left the nets a little water laden, which may have affected our capture rates today. Though Birdcast anticipated as it being a high volume day for migration, our station had a few trickle in with 26 captures, with a majority of them being Wilson's Warblers. It was Kara's first day volunteering and she did a wonderful job! She will be helping out on Friday and you are able to see our Ebird report from today if you'd like.

Chico's captures for 9/3:

Wilson's Warbler 10

Orange-crowned Warbler 2

Western Wood-pewee

Traill's Flycatcher 1 (we did wing formula and everything and the bird could not be determined)

Macgillvray's Warbler 1

Chipping Sparrow 1

Cassin's Vireo 1

Yellow Warbler 1

Lazuli Bunting 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Swainson's Thrush 2

Veery 1

Recaptures:

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.
