I birded Pathfinder Park near Florence this morning to see if the two juvenile Black Phoebes were still there. I found one of the juvenile Black Phoebes foraging at the wetland and calling frequently. Then a juvenile Eastern Phoebe flew in. They foraged near each other, seemingly in a compatible manner most of the time. The Eastern Phoebe flew out near me and I got some good pics of it in addition to a photo of both perched near each other that is great for comparison of these two species.
I also had 3 Eastern Phoebes (at least one is a juvenile) at my friend's property today in addition to continuing juvenile Black and Say's Phoebes. I didn't see the adult Black Phoebe with the mohawk today, but did see it yesterday so suspect it is still around there. I also spotted a Black Phoebe just east of the MacKenzie Bridge over the Arkansas River today. It was calling as it foraged about 150-200 feet east of the bridge. I saw a female Common Merganser on the Arkansas River today. This is likely the same merganser I saw just over a week ago but didn't get a good view of it then. I have posted photos of many of these birds on my blog at http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com SeEtta Moss Canon City http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Colorado County Birding: http://www.coloradocountybirding.com/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
