Hi It was absolutely gorgeous on the eastern plains today, with many of the cottonwoods turning golden.
At Crow Valley flocks of Yellow-rumps were feasting in the russian olives. I one flock just north of the kiosk included a Palm Warbler, also in the vicinity were Townsend and Orange-crown Warblers, including several Townsend Solitaires. Just past the gate at the north end of the campground, at small pond were several species of sparrows, including Field, Clay-colored, Brewer's, Chipping and lots of White-crowned Sparrows. Overhead a squadron of rattling sounding Sandhill Cranes flying south. Also in the campground was a Red-bellied and several "eastern" Hairy Woodpeckers and someone reported detecting a Chat All and all a very satisfying hour and a half of bird watching.
