[cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch Bird Banding Station Report- 5/26/2025

With a rain delay, we were able to get in a full morning of banding. Four new species banded for the year including American Robin, Red-eyed vireo, Bullock's Oriole, and Veery. 

There was still a Hermit Thrush around which is an early short-distance migrant. Lower numbers than previous three springs so not sure what is the cause.
