Enjoyed an unusually warm morning at Lon Hagler SWA. Highlights were an adult female Red-naped Sapsucker with an immature, and a hunting Loggerhead Shrike. It was surprisingly birdy for this time of year.
Robins were everywhere in their typical Kamakazi style, a couple were making a call I'd never heard before, a three note clear, see seE SEE. I saw them do it. Not like their very high pitched SeeEET that they sometimes do. Orange-crowned, Yellow-rumped and Wilson's Warblers Song, White-crowned, Clay-colored Sparrows Northern Flickers in Red/Yellow and combinations thereof. Black-capped Chickadees, WB Nuthatch Common Grackles, RW Blackbirds, W. Meadowlarks Lesser Goldfinches, Downy Woodpeckers, Red-tailed Hawk, AM. W. Pelican, RB Gull. A few Mallards. The water (main lake AND lower pond) was pretty quiet. A bevy of screaming Black-billed Magpies And a thirsty Wood Rat Connie Kogler Twitter @ConnieKogler Facebook.com/connie.kogler BirdsOTheMorning.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
