The weather was very bizarre this morning so I was unsure if I could keep my nets open, but the weather died down and as a result we got a great variety of birds! Today seems to be the day for Woodpeckers as we caught our first Northern Flicker (intergrade) and the first banding record for a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. More pictures would be appreciated if you were at the station, as we believe we do have a hybrid on our hands. Thank you to the MAMBO group for bringing me goodies and your awesome company today. I am going to post the link to my Western Bird Banding Association Webinar video to this update if you're interested in hearing me talk about net set up at Chico and a bird-banding demo.
