Hi COBirders, The word for the day, again, was slow. Calm winds, cool temps, no daytime moisture, but also no birds.
There were three new birds banded today - one each of Song Sparrow, Spotted Towhee (m), and Orange-crowned Warbler (f). The Com Yellowthroat (f) from Saturday was recaptured, also. Overhear in the grove the Northern Parula was refound (but still not banded), a Wilson's Warbler (same one?) along with several Yellow-rumped Warblers, a Ladder-backed Woodpecker, and Say's Phoebe. That's about it. NOTE: For those planing a visit this week - there are now message boards up on both sides of the railroad tracks east of Exit 122 (which you have to cross to use Old Pueblo Road, from the exit there) - which say that the crossing will be CLOSED 4/29. They don't say HOW LONG it will be closed, but you may want to avoid the 7-mile backtrack to Fountain, at least that day. Good birding, Steve Brown Colorado Springs for Nancy Gobris, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
