No rarities here but perhaps a few things of interest to some:
This morning (5/23) I had an Olive-sided Flycatcher at Bristol Mesa on the west
side of Colorado Springs. Overall, tho, the mesa was considerably less birdy
today than a few mornings ago.
On Saturday (5/21) I led an Aiken Audubon field trip to Sondermann Park. We had
55 species on the morning -- a good haul for the park by any measure -- but
nothing more "notable", really, than Virginia's and MacGillivray's Warblers.
It's frankly been a rather slow spring for the park, I must say. The only
addition to the checklist so far this season has been a single-observer record
of Palm Warbler (courtesy of Ken Pals).
(Previously, I had thought Indigo Bunting was also an addition but that turned
out to be mistaken as there was a record I hadn't known about from years ago.
The park list currently stands at 148, not too bad given the park's relatively
small size, urban surroundings, and the fact that the only water is a ribbon of
a creek.)
Also, yesterday (5/22), while walking my dog along Monument Creek, north of
Uintah, I had an Osprey sailing serenely northward.
Last note: The past two days I've had a flock of 40+ Chipping Sparrows visiting
the yard at irregular intervals, with one Clay-colored Sparrow in the mix --
who appears to fancy itself just one o' the gang.
