At 14:45 I relocated the ALDER FLYCATCHER, previously seen last Sunday, along the Skunk Creek Greenway path on the CU East Campus. This area is between Colorado Ave and Arapahoe Ave.
The bird was foraging in dense bushes and cottonwood on Skunk Creek immediately east of the SyBase building which is north off Discovery Drive. The spot on the bike-path is where the path crosses a ditch and has very low sandstone walls on either side. The bird is a dramatically different looking empid with olive back, yellow belly, yellow lower mandible, strong wingbars, and thin white eye-ring. There are many Western Wood-Peewees in the same area. Alex Brown, Boulder -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
