HI, folks-- I'm having a ton of fun, and feel lucky to be able to do all these counts...
Adding to Paula's note about South Boulder arrivals, the catbirds and blue grosbeaks are in place again. Since gray flycatchers are trendy this year, one of those was down there too. And much more, as they say in the newspaper ads. The rest of you seem to have forgotten Gregory Canyon! It's always full of richness (don't forget I'm looking for someone to replace me as its eco-steward; see BCNA website about the program). Today all the usual breeders were back there and very visible, and I had a moment of heart palpitation when I saw a darkish back and yellow belly in the tangles at the trailhead where the Kentucky warbler was found last year. BUT, I could not find that bird again and suspect it was a MacGillivray's or something. It was very skulky, never said a word. A PAIR of red-eyed vireos was working the creek drainage downhill from the parking lot, the male singing merrily. Dare we hope? No scarlet tanager! (Naturally: it appears every year only when I am not out there). But the Westerns are pretty, n'est-ce pas?
