Yesterday I found 2 Eastern Phoebes along the Canon City Riverwalk. One was working the old sewer tanks about a quarter mile east of the Sell's Lake parking area (accessed from 9th St) with another phoebe that looked like it was intermediate between a Black and Eastern Phoebe. Not far from that location I saw my FOY hummingbird, a female Broad-tailed working some plants towards the top of the bluff (near homes that feed birds). Near the half mile marker on the River Trail between Sell's Lake and Raynolds parking areas was a Black Phoebe foraging from the river side of the willow thicket. The Merlin made a number of dramatic dives in an open area near the Sell's Lake parking area as it flew after something to eat. There were also some Yellow-rumped Warblers yesterday and today but these come in waves, stay a few days and move out. Birding today was cut short there by the return of strong gusty winds at mid-morning.
