Greetings,
Today I had the pleasure of joining Joey Kellner and Glenn Walbeck as we trekked from Norma's Grove and Crow Valley s. to Last Chance, and then to a private ranch in Lincoln County. To skip to the highlight, there was a very cooperative Canada Warbler at Last Chance, photos of which can be viewed at http://www.pbase.com/gwalbek/2011_birds The number of woodland birds (warblers in particular, less so flycatchers) was low, but the assortment entertaining. Near Norma's Grove, there was a modestly early GT Towhee At Crow Valley we had 3 Least Flycatchers, 3 Black-and-white Warblers, 2 Red-eyed Vireos, and 4 American Redstarts. At Last Chance, in addition to the Canada Warbler, there were SEVEN American Redstarts The ranch in Lincoln County had a Baltimore Oriole, Great-crested Flycatcher, singleton Gray and Least Flycatchers, Lesser Goldfinch, 2 RB Nuthatches, BG Gnatcatcher, and 4 more American Redstarts. Our warbler list, beyond what was mentioned above, only included Audubon's Warbler (1), Wilson's Warbler and Yellow Warbler (fewer than 25 each), 3 or so Townsend's Warblers, and 2 YB Chats. We had only 3 or so Warbling Vireos Empids were better represented with totals of about 6 Hammond's, 4 Duskies, 4 Willows, and 6 unidentified in addition to those above. We also had about 10 pewees and 4 OSFLs today. Good Birding Steve Mlodinow Longmont, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
