Numbers at the Chico Basin Ranch Station were more manageable today compared to a super busy day yesterday. I banded 40 birds of 11 species. Three new species were added to the season's list: Northern Waterthrush, Gray Catbird, and Warbling Vireo. In addition to the list below I caught a young Broad-tailed Hummingbird and I had a close call with a Sharp-shinned Hawk that escaped the net before I got to it.
Here is the summary of newly banded birds for the day: Wilson's Warbler: 22 House Wren: 1 Orange-crowned Warbler: 4 Northern Waterthrush: 1 Chipping Sparrow: 3 Warbling Vireo: 1 Lincoln's Sparrow: 2 Hermit Thrush: 1 Gray Catbird: 1 American Robin: 1 Brown Thrasher: 3 You are welcome to visit the banding station. I'll be banding through the first week of October and nets will be open 6 days a week (Monday through Saturday). This week I am opening nets at 6:40 and banding until 11:40 weather permitting.
