Well, if anyone looked at Birdcast overnight you saw the Central plains states were lit up like a football field at night. I am glad the birds appeared somewhere because they do not appear to be many passing through SE Colorado. Wind patterns and weather will be the most determinant of bird migration. Chico Basin Ranch did not have many birds present today. We did have enough for educating 75 5th graders from Gold Camp. It was a pleasant day for them to visit and I think they took away a few bits of bird knowledge with them. Thanks to all the volunteers and BCR staff that pitched in today to make it a great experience for the students!
*1 Wilson's Warbler recapture- gained.2g weight in 2 days*
The banding station will be open tomorrow from sunrise until @ noon. Stop by and share your sightings with us. The Burrowing Owls- sometimes one sometimes 2 were still around the intersection of east banding road and the main ranch road (Peyton Hwy). If interested in visiting or birding the ranch, please sign up on the Aiken Audubon website. *www.aikenaudubon.com <http://www.aikenaudubon.com>*
Have a good weekend,
