Ten bird species were captured and banded including a special bird a Canada Warbler! Records show that a Canada Warbler has not been banded at Chico since fall of 2012. It was a nice looking male Canada Warbler. Swainson's Thrushes were the big catch of the day.

Today is the last day of banding at Chico for the spring. Bird migration is not over for passerines in Colorado. Big push of Swainson's Thrushes are later than normal. When you still have singing Swainson's Thrushes, you know migration is not over at a migration stopover site like Chico.
Banding will commence the end of August. Birding access is still allowed on the ranch through June 2nd. you must register at the Aiken Audubon Website for entry (https://www.aikenaudubon.com).
Have a good summer and hope to see you all in the Fall!
