Continuing a great visit to Colorado, we had a nice mid-day walk at a birdy Lake Estes. New birds for me since yesterday's walk at the Lake included 7 American White Pelicans circling in a thermal over the Lake, an Orange-crowned Warbler, a Yellow-breasted Chat, a Warbling Vireo, several McGillivray's Warbler, 2 House Wren, and a beautiful Western Tanager. Saw a Veery again as well as a female American Redstart. Saw several species gathering nesting material and/or mating. My complete eBird list is below.
