[cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch Banding Station Report- Bird Conservancy of the Rockies-5/1/2025

The calendar date had no influence on the bird activity today. Ha! Quiet again birdies at the banding station. The White-eyed Vireo was singing @ nets 6 and 7 this morning. I also hear Bullock's Oriole and a Broad-tailed Hummingbird. 

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and Gray Flycatcher were the highlights and new species for the day and season. 

4 New Banded Birds

Orange-crowned Warbler-2

Gray Flycatcher-1

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher-1

No Recaptures

The Construction crew will not be working at the station tomorrow through Sunday. I believe it has some affect on the birds but there wasn't much activity anyhow in the grove the past couple days. I hope the bird numbers improve.

Stop by the banding station if you are in the area and share your sightings. The banding station will be open tomorrow and Saturday sunrise until @11AM

*note about the Winter Wren banded on tuesday- this is the 7th banded record at Chico. The others were in the fall season and the most recent was in 2013.

Have a good day,

Julie Shieldcastle
