Hey COBorders,
Wow. What a strange fall migration season this has been. It is a rare day that I band more birds than either the Chico Basin or Barr Lake stations! I had a whopping total of 15 birds today, and may have had more if I hadn’t been blown out about 945. There were actually a lot of birds around today, and many moving in the willows, up until the time the nets were perpendicular to the poles! I also saw more flocks moving down the creek than I have all season - several of smaller birds, and one flock of 250+ RW Blackbirds. Plus low fly-bys of Sharp-shinned and Cooper’s Hawks. This follows 10 birds on Wednesday, and 7 birds Thursday. Sigh. Banded today: RC Kinglet RB Nuthatch (2) Chipping Sparrows (2). Most years I’ve had about 1000 by now - this year - 150.
