For the first full day of banding it seemed quiet with birds. Seven birds were banded including 5 species. Bird of note was the White-eyed Vireo. Other first captures of the season were: Orange-crowned Warbler, Audubon's (Yellow-rumped) Warbler, and Northern House Wren. (It will take me a few times to get used to the House Wren's new name). The Ash-throated Flycatcher was calling at the banding station this morning. The Cooper's Hawk is still nesting in the cottonwood west of the banding barn.
*7 New Banded Birds* Orange-crowned Warbler-1 Myrtle (Yellow-rumped) Warbler- 1 Audubon's (Yellow-rumped) Warbler-2 Northern House Wren-2 White-eyed Vireo-1
No recaptures.
Hoping next month the bird numbers will pick up. That is tomorrow! If you are out birding at Chico, Please stop by the banding station and tell us your sightings. The banding station will be open from Sunrise to @11:00AM through Saturday this week. I was told today that the college architectural class building the educational pavilion will be there working tomorrow and off Friday-Sunday.
Have a good day,
