[cobirds] Chico Today

CO Birders :

      Aiken Audubon visited Chico Basin Ranch ( fee area ) today and found signs of migrant activity around HQ but not at the banding station. Highlights around HQ were Nashville , Virginia' ,Wilson's and Orange-crowned Warblers , Brown Thrasher and Green-tailed Towee . The banding station and Casita was slow , the best observing the capture of a Long-eared Owl , 6 of which have been around for the last two weeks. Western Kingbirds , Northern Mockingbirds are back too. We had no luck with Burrowing Owls or Mountain Plover , a complete change from Saturday where I had both , Burrowing Owls in double digits. Shorebirds were limited to a single Spotted Sandpiper , Lesser Yellowlegs and 4 Long-billed Dowitcher.Still good numbers of waterfowl.
