[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies- Chico Basin Banding Station 8/29/2023

Today started out slow either due to the storm overnight diverting the birds around the ranch or that it was so cool for the first couple hours this morning kept the birds inactive. We had a nice variety of species and added seven new species for the season. Thirteen species were captured with highlights including a Cassin's Vireo, Blue Grosbeaks, two Willow Flycatchers, and a Yellow Warbler. Winds have shifted to the south and temperatures will warm up again tomorrow through the weekend so I am not anticipating any big movements of birds south. 

23 New Birds Banded
Wilson's Warbler- 1
Yellow Warbler-1
Common Yellowthroat- 2
House Wren- 3
Willow Flycatcher- 2
Dusky Flycatcher- 2
Western Wood-pewee- 2
Cassin's Vireo- 1
Lazuli Bunting- 4
Western Tanager- 1
Blue Grosbeak- 2
Spotted Towhee- 1
Brown Thrasher- 1

No Recaptures today- meaning no birds previously banded that we caught again.

Banding station will be open this week through Saturday from sunrise until @ 11:30 AM.
Stop on by if you are in the area. Have a good rest of your day!
