Today was a good good day with a variety of birds with some special captures including a male Golden-winged Warbler (Handsome dude), and 2 returning Lazuli Buntings (male 4+ years old) and a female Lazuli Bunting at least 3 years old. Both Buntings were banded as adults so they could be years older than when originally banded. Twenty bird species were captured including seven warbler species and three flycatcher species.
The last Golden-winged Warbler to be banded at Chico was 2 birds in May 2012 and one in May of 2002.

The banding station will be open tomorrow through Saturday from sunrise until @11AM. I received word that the construction will operate through Friday for this week. Loud construction noise usually starts @0830-0900. If interested in birding the ranch, please register on the Aiken Audubon website (https://www.aikenaudubon.com). Stop by the banding station and share your sightings.
Have a good Monday,
