[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Chico Basin Ranch Daily Update 10/2

2021-10-02 Thread Nancy Ransom
Wow! Today was an awesome last day, as I caught two rarities at the station 
and 4 new species for the season. Highlights included a BLUE-HEADED VIREO, 
and a intergrade Fox Sparrow with characteristics of a Northern Fox Sparrow 
and Slate-colored Fox Sparrow. We banded 870 birds over 54 species this 
season, so it was definitely a good run. I will miss everyone that comes by 
the station and I hope to see you soon. Stay birdy 

Chico captures 10/2: 
Wilson's Warbler 3
Orange-crowned Warbler 5
Chipping Sparrow 1
Fox Sparrow 1
Dark-eyed Junco 10 
Hermit Thrush 8
Blue-headed Vireo 
Gambel's White Crowned Sparrow 4
Dusky Flycatcher 1
Audubon's Warbler 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1
House Wren 1
Lincoln's Sparrow

Thank you for the great season everyone. Look for our updates in Spring!

Today was my second to last day of work, and it was super bittersweet. My 
last brigade of elementary school kids came through and seemed to really 
enjoy their time here at the banding station. Thank you to everyone who has 
come to visit throughout the season and hopefully I see some of you 
tomorrow before I head out! 

Chico captures for 10/1: 
Wilson's Warbler 7
Orange-crowned Warbler 1
Song Sparrow 1
Hermit Thrush 1
Slate-colored Junco 2
Lincoln's Sparrow 3

We are open 6 days a week at Chico Basin Ranch (closed Sunday), usually 
returning from the first net run around 7am and staying open until about 
11:30am, weather permitting. Thank you for your continued support! Tomorrow 
(Oct 2nd.) is the last day we will be banding and open to the public.

2021-10-01 Thread Nancy Ransom
Hey ya'll! Sorry I didn't post this last night but figured I would post 
before my banding day starts. Yesterday was our slowest day of the season, 
and just based on my short walk this morning, I think today is going to be 
more productive. Tomorrow is my last day of banding here at Chico, so if 
you'd like to chat with me or make birding arrangements, please come before 
1PM tomorrow!

2021-09-29 Thread Nancy Ransom
Today we actually had to close early due to the wind. We had over 90 2nd 
and 3rd graders come to the station today, and the wind put a real damper 
on everything, though it was great to educate about bird banding. We did 
manage to capture and band a NEW Veery, which may stick around for a few 
days. Like I said previously, Saturday is my last day, so if you'd like to 
come out to the banding station to visit, please do.

Today our capture rate slowed down significantly and I hope it will

2021-09-27 Thread Nancy Ransom
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.

Wilson's Warblers were still coming in strong yesterday, and remained a 
majority of my captures. We are starting to get a nice variety of sparrows 
and juncos trickling in, though, and the Ruby-crowned Kinglets are a staple 
for the seasons changing. This is my last week here at Chico and I am so 
thankful for everyone I have met here so far. I'll be banding my last day 
on Saturday!

No shortage of Wilson's Warblers here-- they made up a majority of our 
captures today, which was 54. We have crossed the threshold of 700 birds 
banded for the season, which is an exciting milestone! We were also given 
the opportunity to present to an AP Biology class today and they were 
fascinated by the banding process and even got to see a Sharp-shinned Hawk 
up close! Thank you to Kara for volunteering these last two days.

Wow! The drop in captures overnight was significant, with only ten captures 
today. It looks like there was a storm-front that moved through from the 
west and it pushed the birds further south (or east) than anticipated. 
Tomorrow we should have some school groups visiting and are looking forward 
to the opportunity to teach students! Thank you so much to Camille, who has 
helped me for the last few days with banding and data entry!

Yesterday we could not open our nets due to the wind and we were in for a 
treat today! We have been getting lucky with capturing rarities here at 
Chico and today we caught a Yellow-throated Vireo! We also caught our first 
Black-headed Grosbeak of the season, which was personally a very exciting 
capture for me as a birder of the East. The Yellow-throated Vireo was 
captured next to the mud pit in the fenced-in area-- there should be a 
pathway in if others are trying to re-locate it. Thank you to all the 
birders who stopped by today to pay me a visit and take pics of the 
Yellow-throated Vireo. It is always a pleasure to see you all :)

Today was a slower day here at the ranch, with only 27 captures (though it 
felt like more!) There was a Cassin's Kingbird vocalizing near the station, 
and I saw a large number of Blue Grosbeaks and White-crowned Sparrows 
moving about. I have started to submit Ebird lists from my banding 
mornings, but as it picks up this might become challenging. Highlight for 
the day was a hatch-year female Broad-tailed Hummingbird! Thanks to

We hit our 500th bird banded for the season today! Although we had no 
rarities here like we did yesterday, it was still a productive day with 39 
captures. We caught our first Audubon's Warbler for the year, so they're 
starting to move through. I also caught another Veery, and know that a few 
birders are interested in seeing the Veery as well. Thank you to the CFO 
group out of Denver for stopping by and giving me some sustenance at the 
end lol! 

Chico captures for 9/15: 
Wilson's Warbler 21
Warbling Vireo 1
Audubon's Warbler 1
Common Yellowthroat 1
Chipping Sparrow 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 3
Swainson's Thrush 3
White-crowned Sparrow 2
Veery 1
Green-tailed Towhee 2
Brown Thrasher 1
Blue Jay 1
Gray Catbird 1
Indigo Bunting 1

We are open 6 days a week at Chico Basin Ranch (closed Sunday), usually 
returning from the first net run around 7am and staying open until about 
11:30am, weather permitting. Thank you for your continued support!

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Chico Basin Ranch Daily Banding Update 9/10/21

2021-09-14 Thread Nancy Ransom
I thought I had already posted this, but I guess I exited it and didn't 
save it as a draft woops! Today was pretty interesting, with no captures 
our first round, but a surge of captures in our second round. A pleasant 
surprise was a hatch-year Sharp-shinned Hawk, and all of our visitors got 
to get a great look at the bird. We also captured our second Ovenbird of 
the season! Today we had 42 captures, bringing our number up to 382 birds 
for the season. It was extremely hot so we had to close early due to 
temperature. Thank you to all the birders that came out today! And thank 
you to Kara for being an awesome volunteer. 

Captures for 9/10: 
Wilson's Warbler 21
Orange-crowned Warbler 4
Hammond's Flycatcher 1
Chipping Sparrow 2 
Lazuli Bunting 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 6
Ovenbird 1
Yellow-breasted Chat 1
Gray Catbird 3
Sharp-shinned Hawk 1 
Brown Thrasher 1

Also, I wanted to mention that I will be featured on the Western Bird 
Banding Association's Virtual Conference that is happening tomorrow 
morning, where I will be talking more about the net set-up here at Chico, 
and there is also a banding demonstration. It will be featured at 0810 PST!

Today I was able to take the time to oogle some hummingbirds (both 
Hatch-year Calliopes), which was very exciting. On our second round we also 
caught a Sharp-shinned Hawk in the net which was fun to show to all of our 
visitors. We had a total of 42 captures for the day, with Wilson's Warblers 
still taking the cake on the highest number banded. Thank you to everyone 
that stopped by today! @Jim, Risa, John, Virginia and John Maynard, Joan 
and Tim. And thank you to Kara, Virginia, and John for helping me with 
clips and bird bags on my net rounds! It was highly appreciated.

I tried posting this update yesterday but it was deleted twice so here 
goes! We had quite the exciting day with a variety of different visitors. 
The heat became intense very quickly so we had to close early, as it was 92 
degrees by 10:40 AM. We caught a very spry hatch-year Sharp-shinned Hawk! 
We had a total of 42 captures, bringing the cumulative total for this fall 
up to 382 captures. I’d like to thank Kara for being an awesome volunteer, 
as well as Virginia and John Maynard who helped out as well, and thanks to 
all the other birders that showed up! (Risa, John, Joan, Tim, Jim)!

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Chico Basin Ranch Banding Update 9/9/2021

2021-09-09 Thread Nancy Ransom
We had a lot of birders try to stop by the station this morning in search 
of the Black-billed Cuckoo, but to no avail. 533+ birds were predicted to 
have migrated last night, so it may have moved on. Birdcast is predicting 
that these next few nights as a part of peak migration, so we should see 
more interesting birds trickling in. A Philidelphia Vireo was spotted both 
at the house and at Headquarters today! We caught one new species for the 
season: a Green-tailed Towhee! I had 54 captures today and can only expect 
my numbers to increase from here. Hope to see more of you tomorrow. 

Chico captures for 9/9: 

Wilson's Warbler 22 
Orange-crowned Warbler 14 
Western Wood-pewee 1
Chipping Sparrow 3
House Wren 1
Indigo Bunting 1 
Lincoln's Sparrow 7
Green-tailed Towhee 2
Yellow-breasted Chat 1
Brown Thrasher 1 
Cordilleran Flycatcher 1 

Also a little fun fact about bird migration: Day length changes are the 
primary reason that birds begin to migrate they can navigate using 
celestial cues from the sun and stars, the earth's magnetic field, and 
mental maps (how cool!) 

We are open 6 days a week at Chico Basin Ranch (closed Sunday), usually 
returning from the first net run around 7am and staying open until about 
11:30am, weather permitting. Thank you for your continued support!

2021-09-03 Thread Nancy Ransom
We received a large amount of rain and thunderstorms last night, which left 
the nets a little water laden, which may have affected our capture rates 
today.  Though Birdcast anticipated as it being a high volume day for 
migration, our station had a few trickle in with 26 captures, with a 
majority of them being Wilson's Warblers. It was Kara's first day 
volunteering and she did a wonderful job! She will be helping out on Friday 
and you are able to see our Ebird report from today if you'd like. 

Chico's captures for 9/3:
Wilson's Warbler 10
Orange-crowned Warbler 2
Western Wood-pewee
Traill's Flycatcher 1 (we did wing formula and everything and the bird 
could not be determined)
Macgillvray's Warbler 1
Chipping Sparrow 1
Cassin's Vireo 1
Yellow Warbler 1
Lazuli Bunting 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
Swainson's Thrush 2
Veery 1

Recaptures: 
Wilson's Warbler 1 

Unbanded: 
American Robin 

We are open 6 days a week at Chico Basin Ranch (closed Sunday), usually 
returning from the first net run around 7am and staying open until about 
11:30am, weather permitting. 
Looking forward to meeting you all!
