Hi Everyone-- Today 9/3 Marcia Marvin and I drove around the Pawnee Grasslands. We found several pockets of migrants at Crow Valley, including 3 Western Wood-Pewees, a Willow Flycatcher, a Hammond's Flycatcher, 3 Eastern Kingbirds, a first-year MacGillivray's Warbler, and 2 Wilson's Warblers at the south end, and a first-year Bullock's Oriole, a first-year Orchard Oriole, and a Northern Waterthrush around the little pond just north of the gate at the north end of the campground. Spizella sparrows were all over the tour loop, but the longspurs seem to have left (I heard one McCown's). A large pond along WCR 75 between WCR 102 and WCR 100 had 4 American Avocets, 3 Red-necked Phalaropes, a Pectoral Sandpiper (fly-by, calling), a Black Tern, and a large assortment of ducks (mallards, shovelers, pintails).
The weather was windy, but not at all hot. Mark Miller Longmont, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
