[cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station-Bird Conservancy of the Rockies-9-20-2025

Another day where you just do not know what to expect birdwise. Fairly quiet most of the morning. No Ruby-throated Hummingbird observed today. Setting up the nets there was a Sharp-shinned hawk hanging out nearby. We managed to catch him and another one doing the course of today. Fifteen bird species captured including a new species for me in Colorado- Tennessee Warbler. Other new species for the season include Rose-breasted Grosbeak (female), Spotted Towhee, and Sharp-shinned Hawk.
