[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies- Chico Basin Banding Station 9/4/2023

Lower bird numbers today, but we caught a very nice bird- Worm-eating Warbler! That is even a rare bird for Northern Ohio where I am from. Bill Maynard said 2012 was the last time one has been recorded at the Ranch. The three recaptures we caught all gained weight since Saturday when they were originally banded. A good sign! There is sure enough insect food options at the banding area for them to bulk up.

The station will be open tomorrow through Saturday this week from Sunrise until around 11:30 AM or until the heat shuts us down. Tomorrow looks to be a cooler day and I have heard a cold front is coming through overnight soooo.... Tomorrow may be a good day banding/birding. Have a good day!
