Many Thanks to the Veterans past and presently with us as well as those fiercely defending our freedoms. I appreciate your sacrifice. May our freedoms continue Thanks to all the efforts of our Veterans and active military. Today was not as active as yesterday but we still had a good diversity of birds. Highlights were the female Magnolia Warbler, Pine Siskin, and adult male Summer Tanager. Twenty-three bird species were captured. Most of the Recaptures were breeding bird species so they were not fat nor gained much weight which is expected since they are busy defending territories from invading males or busy gathering nest materials.
*8 Recaptures* MacGillivray's Warbler- increased weight from banding date Lazuli Bunting- 2 Orchard Oriole Bullock's Oriole-2 Yellow-breasted Chat- 2
The Banding Station will be closed tomorrow and reopen on Monday at sunrise. Tomorrow should be good day to bird the Ranch. Weather looks favorable. If wanting to bird the ranch, Please register on the Aiken Audubon Website www.aikenaudubon.com
Enjoy the Weekend,
Julie Shieldcastle Bander, Chico Basin Ranch Bird Conservancy of the Rockies
