Hi COBirders,
I was at Chico Basin Ranch - the Holmes Grove, this morning doing some preliminary clearing before the banding station opens up after Labor Day. I got pretty good looks at several migrants including:
15 Com Nighthawks, all together, about 1100
Black-chinned Hummingbird female
Empid Flycatcher - probably Dusky based on long tail
Warbling Vireo
Wilson's Warbler - several females
Yellow Warbler probably hatch-year male
Yellow-breasted Chat
Red-breasted Nuthatch - male
Western Tanager male
and a few Chipping, Lark, and Vesper Sparrows
also an adult Brown Thrasher - maybe not a migrant.
Western Kingbirds
Blue Jay
Am Robins
It wasn't THICK with birds, but a good variety anyway. It is dry. The only things that appear to be growing well are the unwelcome Russian Olives.
Good birding,
Steve Brown
