CObirders, Sorry for the late report but I did have two singing Black-chinned Sparrows at Colorado National Monument on Saturday. Both were in the vicinity of the Devil's Kitchen and No Thoroughfare Canyon trails confluence with the first about 400 meters up and the second only about 50 meters up the No Thoroughfare trail. In my short visit there (non-birding companion in tow) I also had Turkey Vulture, White-throated Swift, Black-chinned Hummingbird, Ash-throated Flycatcher, Common Raven, Rock Wren, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Black-throated Sparrow, and House Finch. There was a single male Gambel's Quail just before the park entrance. After reading of Jason's Friday sightings, I wish I would have continued further up the trail for the vireo, warbler, titmouse, and jay - but alas, wine tasting was my compromise for chasing my lifer Black-chinned Sparrow.
Good birding, Chip Clouse Colorado Springs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
