Subject: [cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station- Bird Conservancy of the Rockies-5/10/2025
Well, let me say when I said yesterday- I hope tomorrow is a better bird
day- It most certainly was a better bird DAY!! We caught half of our total
birds today in one day since the beginning of this season. Four new species
for the year which included Dusky Flycatcher, Northern Waterthrush, Wood
Thrush, and Ruby-crowned Kinglet. The Wood Thrush is the 6th Wood thrush
banded at Chico and the last time one was banded was in 2012.

*36 New Banded Birds-14 species*
Audubon's (Yellow-rumped) Warbler- 2
Myrtle (Yellow-rumped) Warbler-1
Yellow Warbler-1
Northern Waterthrush-1
MacGillivray's Warbler-1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet-1
Northern House Wren-3
Dusky Flycatcher-1
Lincoln's Sparrow-2
Swainson's thrush-18
Wood Thrush-1
Gray Catbird-1
Spotted Towhee-1
Brown Thrasher-2

No Recaptures

The banding station will be closed tomorrow and reopen on Monday at sunrise.
Construction will begin again on the educational pavilion on Monday
probably after 8:30AM. Please sign up if wanting to bird on the ranch on
the Aiken Audubon website (https://www.aikenaudubon.com). The Website also
lists the areas open to birding and those which are not.
Not sure exactly how it works when someone asks a question on this site.
However, I did respond to David Suddijian's thoughts and questions from
yesterday's post.
Have a good weekend,
