COBirders, A one hour visit (cut short) to Chico Basin Ranch (fee) in the vicinity of the RMBO Banding Station revealed a singing Tennessee Warbler and a nice male Chestnut-sided Warbler (The Casita). Ash-throated Flycatchers are quite easy to see at the banding station grove and at the Casita and present at both locations are Ladder-backed Woopeckers but more difficult to see well. A juv Red-tailed Hawk, one I previously saw coughing up a large pellet, today was on top of a lifeless prairie rattlesnake. There were about 6 waterthrushes, I called them all Northerns, at the previously reported pond across Fountain Creek in Hanson Nature Park, but a Northern Parula was singing there around 0615. Just a FYI, the southernmost subspecies of Rufous-collared Sparrow, Zonotrichia capensis australis is migratory, howerver it breeds in southern Argentina and Chile south to Cape Horn and at least some of these individuals have been reported as migrating north during the austral winter, but only to northern Argentina and Bolivia.
