[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies- Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station Report- September 30, 2024

Light north winds overnight had me hoping for a few more birds today. I am wondering where the Yellow-rumped Warblers are hanging out. The highlight bird today was a White-throated Sparrow. A Canyon Towhee was around but decided not to participate in the banding process. Not sure what the weather overnight will bring.

Also I was reminded that a Scarlet Tanager was banded last fall at the Chico Basin Ranch Banding station. The update is there has been a couple Scarlet Tanagers in 2012 and one in 2023 and this fall captured at the station.

The banding station will be open this week through Friday from Sunrise until @ 11:45.

Stop by and report your sightings when you are one the ranch.

Remember to go to the Aiken Audubon Society website to register for birding access to the Ranch.
