The morning began damp and overcast and the birds were very quiet for several hours. Despite the slow start, we saw a steady increase in activity in our nets by the end of the banding day, and we finished with 23 newly-banded birds and 3 recaptures, and at least 12 species:
-- Western Wood-Pewee 1
Wilson's Warbler 10 (including 1 recapture)
American Redstart 1
Nashville Warbler 1 (4th Chico banding record)
House Wren 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 5
Gray Catbird 1
Canyon Towhee 1
Northern Mockingbird 1
Cordilleran/Pacific-slope Flycatcher 1 (Recapture)
Warbling Vireo 1 (Recapture)
Unidentified Empidonax Flycatcher (1 was likely a Least, the other possibly a Dusky or Gray)
We are open 6 days a week, closed on Sundays. Next week we'll be opening at 6:30 AM on Monday and Tuesday, and closing at 11:30, weather permitting. From Wednesday on we'll be opening at 6:40 AM and closing at 11:40. Visitors are welcome!
