Chico Basin Ranch Ranch Banding Station-Bird Conservancy of the Rockies-9/15/2025

[Chicobander]

Another day where you just wait and see if there will be birds around. Some Wilson's Warblers were chipping when we set up the nets; but none got caught util after 9:00 AM. The birds were few. However, some birds is better than none. The recaptures again increased their weight with the Orange-crowned Warbler gaining almost 2 grams in a week.
