Hi All,
On our return trip from the CFO convention in Grand Junction, we took Clear
Creek Canyon (Highway 6) from I-70 to Golden. At a random pull-off ("This
habitat looks okay, let's take a quick look..."), our visiting birders from
North Carolina, Ali Iyoob and Matt Daw, get out of the car and nonchalantly
say "Summer Tanager," referring to a call emanating from a roadside
cottonwood. The CO birders among us, myself, Joel Such, and Nick Moore,
immediately responded with "No, you mean Western, right?" With binoculars
up, it was indeed an immature male SUMMER TANAGER. We observed and
photographed it for a few minutes before it flew downstream. The elevation
was 6825', and the GPS coordinates for this pull-off were
Lat 39.736215°, -105.386840°.
Good Birding!
