I stayed in Lamar this morning due to developing weather (a tornado spotted 4 miles from Lamar in early afternoon) and birded the Lamar Woods located behind Lamar Community College. I did not hear or see anything of the Philadelphia Vireo today, for that matter I didn't hear or see any vireos this morning. However, I did find a Northern Parula that was singing for a while and though it spent most of his time foraging in thick weeds I did get a crummy pic that does show most of the field marks for this species. I ran into local birder Jill White Smith who had found an American Redstart. I was able to refind that bird plus a second American Redstart that actually was foraging in the same area. I did get good pics of these birds that I have uploaded along with the blurry pic of the Northern Parula onto my Birds And Nature <http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com> blog.
I caught a brief glimpse of another bird that looked like a Hooded Warbler but could not refind or confirm it's identity. For awhile there was a flurry of flycatchers moving through including a number of empids and a few wood-pewees. Swainson Thrush were abundant here today--I saw several dozen in just the mid and north sections of the Lamar Woods I birded this morning. A flock of 15-20 Cedar Waxwing gave their unique vocalizations SeEtta Moss Canon City http:BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
