Hi! The first day of spring banding at Chico Basin Ranch. Net lanes and nets were set and we were able to operate for a couple hours. We caught a few nice birds in that short time. Things are different at Chico but I believe it will work out. The leases are split up among different entities, unlike before when the Phillips' had all the leases on the ranch. It made it easier for communication and smoother operations. Michael Moon is the Ranch Manager for the Agricultural lease. He has been nice and helpful. From what I was told, the CO Land Board has more involvement in decisions on the ranch so that is another added step in communications of operations that was not there before. There is some renovation going on around the banding station and a new educational pavilion is being constructed. The loud work on the building is to happen after 11 AM. *4 New Banded Birds* Winter Wren Myrtle (Yellow-rumped) Warbler Lesser Goldfinch Hermit Thrush
Tomorrow will be a full banding session from sunrise until @ 11AM. Stop on by and share your sightings.
All the best for a great Spring season!
