Hi all, I birded Twin Lakes in the Gunbarrel area of Boulder this morning. The only unusual sighting was of a phoebe that looked pretty much like your typical Eastern Phoebe, but sang a very odd song that in many ways resembled the hybrid songs of Black x Eastern Phoebes. I recorded a couple minutes of its song for documentation purposes, and the spectrograms look quite odd. But if I had only gotten a visual, I'm not sure I would have suspected anything amiss -- it looked pretty standard for an Eastern.
The bird was found at 8:00 AM at the concrete aqueduct at the south end of the canal that runs between the Twin Lakes. It sang for two minutes, then flew far to the north. I lost it near the road and I think it kept heading north, out of the area. Nathan Pieplow Boulder -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
