Fall migration banding at Chico Basin Ranch continues, with
new arrivals this past week that included Least Flycatcher, Cassin's Vireo,
Ruby-crowned
Kinglet, American Goldfinch, Song Sparrow, and Audubon's Warbler. Also, we
caught a Summer Tanager on Monday
(9/15), only the third ever captured here.
Both previous birds were in the spring, 2009 and 2012. The first juncos
arrived on Saturday.
Wilson's Warblers continue to dominate the catch, though no
where near the numbers as the Barr Lake station. We had caught no Empidonax
flycatchers or
Western Wood-Pewees since Monday, then a single Dusky Flycatcher showed up in a
net on Saturday. Thus far for the
season, we have banded 568 birds of 41 species.
