Hello, Birders. The very first bird I laid binoculars on this morning, Saturday, Sept. 17th, was a Cassin's Kingbird along 115th Street south of Oxford Road, Boulder County. This is the road into Panama Reservoir. The bird was about 2,000 feet south of the intersection of Oxford and 115th, and it was present for at least half an hour. Cassin's Kingbird is rare, but possibly increasing and perhaps under-detected, in Boulder County. Panama Rez proper had great looking habitat, but nothing of note, although it was nice when a Marsh Wren popped into view.
Up at Ish Reservoir, barely in Boulder County, I saw 2 Black Terns and a Clay-colored Sparrow. And a quick stop at Union Reservoir, Weld County, produced a Bonaparte's Gulls, 2 Black Terns, a Common Tern, 2 Clay-colored Sparrows, and 13 dopey Wilson's Snipes outstanding in their field. ------------------------------- Ted Floyd Editor, Birding Please check out the website of the ABA: http://tinyurl.com/6kmbfvx And please check out The ABA Blog: http://tinyurl.com/4n6qswt We're on twitter, too: http://tinyurl.com/2ejzlzv ------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
