A quick check-in here from somewhere other than the Cayuga Basin... :-) Chipping Sparrows are moving over Lafayette, eastern Boulder County, USA, in the 2am hour right now, Saturday, July 20th. We believe that these are birds bailing on their mountain breeding grounds for literally greener pastures in eastern Colorado and western Kansas, where they molt. Regardless, it's an annual phenomenon, beginning in mid-July (first nighttime detection this year for me was July 16th), in the night skies over the Denver metro area, and it's fascinating to witness.
