Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station-Bird Conservancy of the Rockies-9/24/2025

[Chicobander]

Today was a bit birdie than yesterday, but not many migrants stopping at the olive grove for a rest. However, those birds staying over a day or two are increasing weight so I think that is good. Cassin's Vireo was the highlight bird of the day.
