[cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station Report/Bird Conservancy of the Rockies- May 7, 2024

Today was a calmer wind day than yesterday. Winds were too strong for operating the banding station yesterday. Total of seven species captured today including one recapture. The Recaptured Orange-crowned Warbler gained weight from its first capture on May 1st. 
A male Rose-breasted Grosbeak and a pair of Black-headed Grosbeaks were observed nearby the banding station in the cottonwoods. The Ash-thorated Flycatcher was putting on a show by perching close to the ground within 10 feet of birders.

6 New Banded Birds
Hammond's Flycatcher- 1
Hermit Thrush- 1
Yellow-breasted Chat- 1
Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow- 1
Spotted Towhee- 1
Brown Thrasher- 1

1 recapture
Orange-crowned Warbler

***Remember Chico Basin is open to a limited number of people each day during this month. Please go to the Aiken Audubon Website to register for a morning to visit. There is a daily registration fee. FYI- as far as I can tell, the sign up has not reached full capacity as there has been little birder activity on the Ranch this past week. 

The banding station will be operating tomorrow through Saturday this week from sunrise to @ 11 AM. Please stop by and share what you are seeing on the ranch.
Enjoy the day!
