Besides the cool birds I found in my yard, there were a lot of nice birds on the Canon City Riverwalk yesterday too. Western Tanagers are in and Gray Catbirds are back (usually resident but I didn't see any this winter). I saw several MacGillivray's Warblers plus several Wilson's Warblers. I also found what I believe is a Cassin's Vireo, a pretty rare species in this area
Also on the Canon City Riverwalk were singing Lazuli Bunting (they breed here) and a singing Green-tailed Towhee (though I was surprised,* Birds Of North America* online states that the male birds do "begin singing during spring migration." Black-headed Grosbeaks are paired up and already building nests. Cowbirds had arrived and were giving their whistling calls everywhere. Yellow-rumps still in good numbers and Black Phoebes still there. I have uploaded photos I took of a colorful male Western Tanager, the probable Cassin's Vireo and soon the Wilson's Warblers and Black-headed Grosbeaks onto my Birds And Nature <http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com> SeEtta Moss Canon City http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
