[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies- Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station Report- September 4, 2024

Another day of good bird diversity including 25 species. Wilson's Warblers dominated the day with the Western Wood-pewees trying to make a run for the lead but could not do it in the end. Highlights for today were a Hairy Woodpecker and a Great-crested Flycatcher. We had a good volunteer crew to keep things running smoothly.
