The day got off to a good start when Bob Chase and I found an Ovenbird in brilliant plumage on the hill side below the dam. It was so close to us we first thought it was a thrush with an orange stripe on its head. Scott Roederer later found a female American Redstart along the Big Thompson River, again below the dam. And this evening at sundown I saw a Palm Warbler in the willows near the pond below the dam next to Mall Road. We had a good assortment of FOY birds yesterday and today. These included Semipalmated Sandpiper, Least Flycatcher, Willow Flycatcher, Brown Thrasher, Yellow Warbler, MacGillivray's Warbler, Bobolink, Gray Catbird and Clay-colored Sparrow. Julie Roederer found a Veery yesterday and she and Scott saw three Lark Buntings near the High School.
