[cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch Bird Banding Station Report- 5/24/2025

The Swainson's Thrushes are finally moving into the olive grove today. Birds still seem a little late in arriving and I am wondering why. Western Flycatcher and Western Kingbird were the new catches for the season. Lingering Hermit thrush graced us with its presence today.
