Hello, Birders. William Burnidge and I stopped in at the muck-filled pit at Last Chance, Washington County, on our drive back to the Front Range region from the Fox Ranch this afternoon, Sunday, May 17th. We didn't have a lot of time, but the birding was good. We saw 1 Western Palm Warbler, 1 adult male Blackpoll Warbler, and 1 Northern Waterthrush. Also a Lincoln's Sparrow and a few Swainson's Thrushes. And we thought we heard an American Redstart (weird whisper song; couldn't get on it, weren't sure). There's definitely stuff in there, and I'd encourage anybody to scour the area thoroughly. (Tip: Walking around the outskirts of the "park" oftern turns up stuff that you don't see right down in the pit.) (Another tip: Stick around a while. Stuff seems to move through, right during the course of the afternoon.)
