[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies- Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station Report- September 28, 2024

A nice morning to be outside. Twelve bird species were banded with a couple returning Brown Thrashers that have returned to the area previously banded at least 7 years ago. Very good for any smaller bird even if it is not a long distance migratory bird. The nets caught another Sharp-shinned hawk. This time it was a male Sharpy! The other day was a female Sharpy.
