Other RECR birds

The same day we caught the Ovenbird we had this Pygmy Nuthatch, a resident species that PRBO had only caught ten of previously.


For some reason we were also catching far more adult male Allen's Hummingbirds than usual, with six for the day I believe.

Cavities

In addition to point counting we'll also be searching for nest cavities, like the one below, but in trees, and they'll be woodpeckers and bluebirds mostly...

Chico

Went down to Chico to check out Bidwell Park. Happened upon some Wilson's, Townsend's, Nashville, and Orange-crowned warblers along with a few Western Tanagers and Ash-throated Flycatchers. Potluck tonight with some of the other crew, then up early(ish) tomorrow to continue with training.

Mountain bluebird


Pygmy Nuthatch, my favorite nuthatch for now, as this is the first time I've really been surrounded by them
