We had a little more activity on the penultimate day of the fall season at Chico Basin, though once again we had to deal with some suboptimal weather. The morning started relatively busy before an steady south breeze slowed things down and resulted in early closures for our most productive nets. We finished with 22 newly-banded birds and 3 recaptures, but not much variety, as only 4 species were caught. As with some recent days, there was pretty good thrush and kinglet representation.
-- Our summary:
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 7
Wilson's Warbler 1
Dark-eyed Junco, Pink-sided 1
Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon/intergrade 4
Hermit Thrush 9 + 3 recaptures.
Visitors are welcome at our banding stations. Registration is required for groups. For more information and hours of operation, visit birdconservancy.org/birdbanding .
Tomorrow (Friday) will be the final day of the season. We'll be opening nets at 7:00 AM and closing at noon, weather permitting. Come visit!
