I made an hour-long visit to Dixon just now. The reservoir is extremely high, as high as I've ever seen it. The water has started to invade the interior of the wooded area, and after last night's rain and this morning's snow, the place is a muddy, waterlogged mess.
Nevertheless it was very enjoyable birdwatching and birdlistening this morning. Of the 37 species I tallied, the highlights were a single Hermit Thrush, a couple proudly singing Ruby-crowned Kinglets, singing White-crowned Sparrow, 3 Orange-crowned Warblers with their orange crowns quite noticeable, several Yellow-rumped Warblers, and even several Pine Siskins. Nothing else particularly rare or unexpected however, as I continue to await more interesting migrants and summer returnees. It felt like something else notable was there, but I found no evidence to support that hunch. -- Eric DeFonso Fort Collins, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
