Another hot day at Chico Basin. Things started off quietly but as the
temperature increased, so briefly did our capture rates, before the
90-degree weather caused us to shut down early. We banded 29 birds of 14
species. Notable captures included another Canyon Towhee, and a Red-eyed
Vireo (the 9th banding record at Chico Basin).
The day's summary:
Wilson's Warbler 10
MacGillivray's Warbler 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 5
House Wren 2
Cordilleran/Pacific-slope ("Western") Flycatcher 1
Yellow Warbler 1
Dusky Flycatcher 1
Red-eyed Vireo 1
Hermit Thrush 1
Yellow-breasted Chat 2
Green-tailed Towhee 1
Gray Catbird 1
Canyon Towhee 1
Brown Thrasher 1
We are open 6 days a week, closed on Sundays. We'll be opening at 6:30 AM
for the remainder of the week, and closing at 11:30, weather permitting.
Visitors are welcome!
