Another hot day at Chico Basin. Things started off quietly but as the temperature increased, so briefly did our capture rates, before the 90-degree weather caused us to shut down early. We banded 29 birds of 14 species. Notable captures included another Canyon Towhee, and a Red-eyed Vireo (the 9th banding record at Chico Basin).
-- The day's summary:
Wilson's Warbler 10
MacGillivray's Warbler 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 5
House Wren 2
Cordilleran/Pacific-slope ("Western") Flycatcher 1
Yellow Warbler 1
Dusky Flycatcher 1
Red-eyed Vireo 1
Hermit Thrush 1
Yellow-breasted Chat 2

We are open 6 days a week, closed on Sundays. We'll be opening at 6:30 AM for the remainder of the week, and closing at 11:30, weather permitting. Visitors are welcome!
