Hello, Birders. Well, let's start at the top. At 3:34 a.m. this morning, Thursday, July 30th, an Upland Sandpiper flew over Greenlee Preserve, Boulder County. It called, loud and clear, 5 times on its way over. Conditions were perfect, I would say: light NNE winds, a low cloud ceiling, and light rain off and on earlier in the night. The bird evidently saw fit to drift west to Boulder on its way to Argentina. Meanwhile, I would -not- have called the conditions favorable for a dickey-bird flight, but there were passerines aplenty up there. Between 3:30 and 4:00 I heard the following flight calls: 1 Yellow Warbler, 28 Chipping Sparrows, 2 Lark Sparrows, and 1 Lark Bunting. -------------------------------
