Cobirds:
Dan Zmolek and I hit a few places around Boulder County
today (Saturday). The highlight was seeing a migratory group of
chimney swifts at CU abover Boulder Creek, large numbers of yellow
warblers by CU campus, and arival of neo-tropicals throughout. Rain
and clouds and wet conditions are keeping birds low near the ground.
