[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies- Chico Basin Ranch 5/27/22

Today was our final day of the spring season at Chico Basin Ranch. The morning started out fairly busy, then slowed down considerably by late morning as the heat began to rise. We banded 41 individuals of 13 species, with decent numbers of Swainson's Thrushes still in the area and a singing White-eyed Vireo that didn't end up in the nets today. The unofficial tally for newly banded birds this season is 1112 individuals of 59 species, which is the busiest spring season we've had since 2011 and great to see after such a slow spring season last year. 

A huge thanks to our bander Julie and the many volunteers that helped make this season a success!

Here are today's totals:

Yellow Warbler - 1

MacGillivray's Warbler - 6

Common Yellowthroat - 1

Western Wood-pewee - 5

Willow Flycatcher - 1

Warbling Vireo - 5

Lincoln's Sparrow - 1

Swainson's Thrush - 13

Hermit Thrush - 2

Western Tanager - 1

Gray Catbird - 3

Bullock's Oriole - 1

Blue Jay - 1

We'll be back for fall migration in late August!
