[cobirds] Chico Basin Ranch Bird Banding Station Report- 5/27/2025

A Strange day. Very little bird activity in the grove around where the nets are set. However, further west in the Grove I was told there were many more birds around. It could be because of the Construction and probably affected bird capture. 

The recaptures today were in great condition with some of them increasing there odd weight by almost 20% in three days. Plenty of food for the migrants to feed on before continuing north to their breeding grounds. The Wood Thrush continues to sing in the grove; It moves farther west when the construction noise begins. 

10 New Banded Birds

Yellow Warbler-1

MacGillivray's Warbler-1

Lazuli Bunting-1

Blue Grosbeak-2
