[cobirds] Eastern Blue Jay, Golden Gate Canyon State Park, Jefferson County

[Paula Hansley]

At the top of Mountain Base Road, I heard an eastern Blue Jay calling from
an aspen grove!  I've never heard one before in Golden Gate Canyon SP, and
I lived just north of it for 25 years and have birded there often since
moving to Louisville.  The two Steller's Jays that I saw were quiet.

Hi David, and thanks for asking!  We do produce summary data and we should 
do a better job of sharing that as well as our day-to-day reports during 
the season.  Now on my list for after the banding season!  Meredith

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Chico Basin Ranch 9/29/22

[Chicobander]

With not having much experience with bird migration in the West, I thought 
there might be a bit of migration overnight with the light NNW wind. It 
appears that a few birds dropped in this morning. Twenty-three bird species 
were captured at the station including a special highlight of a 
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. Which I was told it is the second one banded 
here at Chico Basin. The White-crowned Sparrows and Wilson's Warblers were 
the dominating species.
Here is the Catch of the Day:
*72 New Birds*
Wilson's Warbler - 19
Orange-crowned Warbler -5
American Redstart -1
Audubon's Yellow-rumped Warbler
Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warbler
Ruby-crowned Kinglet -2
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher -1
Dusky Flycatcher -1
Clay-colored Sparrow-1
Chipping Sparrow -5
House Wren -1
Oregon Junco-1
Lincoln's Sparrow -3
Song Sparrow -1
Green-tailed Towhee -1
Gambel's White-crowned Sparrow-16
Mountain White-crowned Sparrow -1
Spotted Towhee -5
Gray Catbird -1
American Robin -5
Red-shafted Flicker -1

*9 Recaptures*
Wilson's Warbler -1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet -1
Spotted Towhee -3
Gray Catbird -1
Western Tanager -1
Hermit Thrush -2

Tomorrow is the last banding day for fall season at Chico Basin Ranch. I am 
very thankful for all the volunteers who contributed to the project this 
season. Many thanks also to the Birders who have been very helpful with 
western bird natural history. It is important in understanding bird 
behaviors and habitat needs for bird conservation. The folks here at Chico 
have been very accommodating and kind, thank you all for what you do.
Have a good day,

Julie Shieldcastle, Bander

I enjoy seeing what the banding stations report of their progress through
the season. Is a summary of the data available in any format, such as
annual season's end results, or a summary of multiple years?
