[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies- Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station Report- October 3, 2024

The Northwinds brought in more sparrows or the birds from the south side of the fence came over to the north side. I think it was a little of both. First Red-winged Blackbird caught in the net for me in Colorado and banded. The Juncos made the bulk of the catch. 

84 New Banded Birds

Wilson's Warbler- 7

Orange-crowned Warbler- 7

Audubon's (Yellow-rumped) Warbler- 2
