North of Greeley along Hwy 392 at WCR 35 Most birds were more secretive except for the Ruby-crowned Kinglet that took his bath about 10 feet from me and flashed his red crown all the time. Then he sang throughout the yard for a few hours. A male and female Bullock's Oriole spent most of the day into dusk eating from the cotoneaster bushes. Insects I assume. Did not see them eat the berries. Orange-crowned Warblers Yellow-rumped Warblers Beautiful male Audubons and Myrtles. Yellow Warblers bathing. Swainson's Thrush Over the course of the last 5 or 6 days I have had 9 species of Sparrows if you count the Spotted Towhees and Green-tailed Towhees. White-crowned White-throated Clay-colored Chipping House Lincoln Lark They all love the dandelion heads that have gone to seed.
What a spring to remember.
