Birded with Greg Levandoski behind the RMBO office in Lee Martinez Park this morning for a little bit. In the woods due north of the Daz Bog Coffee shop (west of the Discovery Science Center construction zone) we had a nice male MOURNING WARBLER. Also within the small cattail marsh within these woods was a marsh wren that we tried to turn into a sedge wren. (It looked more like the eastern marsh wren depicted in Sibley). Otherwise not much there. Along the Poudre river just north of here was a least flycatcher. At one of the small ponds near here (surrounded by russian olives and willows/cottonwoods) was a willow flycatcher. Other migrants in the area were a wilson's warbler, blue-gray gnatcatcher, green-tailed towhee, gray catbird, and a large flock of clay-colored, brewer's and chipping sparrows. also heard in the area were western tanager, black-headed grosbeak, bullock's orioles, common yellowthroat and western wood-pewees, and many yellow warblers.
At my house near horsetooth mtn park yesterday evening I was again visited by a beautiful male EVENING GROSBEAK. I'm now convinced there must be at least a resident pair nearby -- first time in nearly 10 years of living up there. And finally, mtn bluebirds have decided to nest in my yard.
