[cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch reminders

If you are visiting Chico Basin Ranch, you must pay the daily fee, each time you come.  Some birders who don't have the annual pass, are trespassing on Chico Basin Ranch, if they aren't paying the daily fee and signing in at the HQ Kiosk and signing the waiver.  Also, the ranch visitors are required to obey the 25 MPH speed limit for all the Ranch roads.  Since Chico Basin Ranch is the best migrant location in Pueblo and El Paso Counties, us local birders don't want to see the Ranch closed down to us, if some visiting birders are not obeying the rules.  Birding & Wildlife Viewing - Ranchlands

This spring Chico Basin Ranch has had four new species of birds for the Ranch (Common Black Hawk, Caspian Tern, Rufous-crowned Sparrow, and Black Swift (today) -- all of these were photographed and the next new documented bird, will be the 350th bird species for the Ranch.  It has been a good warbler spring at Chico, with 24 species of warblers so far (Prairie, Cape May, Kentucky, Blackburnian, Black-throated Blue, Magnolia, Chestnut-sided, being some of the better ones).
