[cobirds] Bird Conservancy Banding Report - Chico Basin Ranch (El Paso), 9/4/19

Hi everyone,

Our third day of banding started off fairly slow with overcast, somewhat humid weather. Once the clouds picked up, so did the birding activity, though that was a little short-lived as the breezy late morning caused some early net closures. 

We ended with 23 birds banded today. It seemed to be a relatively busier day for the resident and local breeder species than for migrants, but there was some good variety, with 14 total species. 

Among the more unique captures were a female Orchard Oriole (the 12th fall record for Chico and only the 3rd since 2011) and a Canyon Towhee (only the 3rd-ever record here). 

Our summary for the morning:

Wilson's Warbler 4

Willow/Alder ("Traill's") Flycatcher 1

MacGillivray's Warbler 1

House Wren 1

Chipping Sparrow 1

Orange-crowned Warbler 3

Clay-colored Sparrow 1

Cassin's Vireo 1

Lincoln's Sparrow 1

Orchard Oriole 1

Blue Grosbeak 1

Canyon Towhee 1

Northern Mockingbird 2

Brown Thrasher 4

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!
