[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Chico Basin Ranch Banding update 9/10

[Nancy Ransom]

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. 

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

If you are interested, tomorrow I will be featured in Western Bird Banding 
Association's Virtual Conference, talking more about net set-up and bird 
banding at Chico. I will also be doing a banding demonstration. My session 
begins at 0810 AM PST. Here is a link to register:

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 Banding Update 9/10/21

[Nancy Ransom]

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)! 

I think I’m starting to remember all of your names!
