May 16 Another busy day at Chico Basin Ranch. This morning a school group came for a field trip at the station, so I shut a couple of my nets to talk with them about banding and the data I collect. We still managed to band 61 birds of 17 species:
MacGillivray's Warbler: 12 Dusky Flycatcher: 2 Yellow Warbler: 5 Warbling Vireo: 1 House Wren: 2 Ovenbird:2 Lincoln's Sparrow: 5 Hermit Thrush: 8 House Finch: 1 Swainson's Thrush: 7 Western Tanager: 5 "Gambel's" White-crowned Sparrow: 1 Spotted Towhee: 1 Bullock's Oriole: 6 Gray Catbird:1 Green-tailed Towhee: 1 Brown Thrasher: 1 We are open 6 days a week (closed Sundays), weather permitting. This week we'll be opening nets around 6:10 and closing around 11:10. Come visit!
