Bird Conservancy Banding Report Chico Basin Ranch - 10/1/18

[Kim Geissler]

Bird activity was relatively slow today. I caught the first two Northern Flickers of the season. One was a Yellow-shafted male and the other was a Red-shafted female. The totals were 30 birds banded of 9 species, plus 5 recaps from earlier in the season.

Here's the summary of newly banded birds for the day:

Wilson's Warbler: 11

Ruby-crowned Kinglet: 5

Lincoln's Sparrow: 1

Hermit Thrush: 4

Song Sparrow: 4

Western Tanager: 1

Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow: 1

Northern Flicker: 2

Brown Thrasher: 1

You are welcome to visit the banding station. The last day of the season is Friday, October 5th. This week I'm opening nets at 7:00 and banding until 12:00 weather permitting.
