Yesterday, I had a late winter wren on the HP Campus at I25 and Rockrimmon. It was quite difficult to finally get a diagnostic look at this little guy darting from matted rushes and cattails in a wooded watery ravine on the site. Vocalizations were few and far between. Finally was able to flush it into a skunkbrush tangle. There, I got very good looks.
Also had: . 2nd northern waterthrush this week. Same area. . First spotted sandpipers ever seen around small pond. . Very odd savannah sparrow I tried to turn into all kinds of sparrows until it flew up into a nearby Russian olive and sang. Quite a late record for winter wren based on Andrews & Righter. fyi Jeff J Jones ( <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]) Teller County - 8500' - Montane Woodlands --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Join us at the 2009 Convention in Alamosa: http://cfo-link.org/convention/index.php You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
