Gene Rutherford and I had a singing male Scott's Oriole at Mesa Verde National Park at Soda Canyon, which is a pulloff to see Hemingway (sp.?) House. Look at the Park Map for exact location. Not sure if this bird is moving through or will attempt to breed in this area. Also in the park there were two male Black-throated Gray Warblers and quite a few Juniper Titmice, among other birds.
We also saw only one Acorn Woodpecker at the usual Durango, La Plata County location. CFO Website would have the directions. Since this the only reliable location for them in Colorado, I hope there are more birds still at this location. We saw a few migrants passerines around Durango today. The best location was the park behind the Home Depot. A male Lazuli Bunting, a Dusky Flycatcher, and an Orange-crowned Warbler were the best things. There were 50 or more Yellow-dumped Warblers, both Audubon's and Myrtle, to look through. No luck with any of the rare western warblers that we were hoping to find. There is always tomorrow! We also saw a couple of Black Phoebes while looking for migrant passerines along the Animas River in Durango. Brandon K.
