[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies- Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station-9/7/22

Twenty-one bird species were captured of 56 total birds. No birds have been recaptured in several days which tells me they are on the move south. Most of the birds not counting th Brown Thrashers and North Mockingbirds which most likely were hatched in the near vicinity are in good energetic condition (fat) for migration. Notable birds were Sage Thrasher, Orange-crowned Warbler FOS, Veery FOS, Hatching year Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow FOS, and an adult male Lazuli Bunting.

The Banding station is open Monday - Saturday through September 30th. Mornings are a good time to visit the station to see the passerine bird activity. This weekend with the cold front coming through I would expect some interesting birds to possibly show up.
