Greetings All,
I was not able to connect to internet yesterday, so here are yesterday's highlights from Washington County These are of varying degrees of interest, and interesting for various reasons. 1 Solitary Sand 1 Black-bellied Plover 369 Killdeer 42 American Avocet 52 Lesser Yellowlegs 2 Semi Sand 113 Least Sand 79 Stilt Sands 2000 American Coots 3 Herring Gulls (2 long-staying ads, and one new arrival juv) 1 Lesser BB Gull (adult, finally caught up with it; has been around for a while 1 Common Tern Red-headed Woodpecker Eastern Phoebe 1 Warbling Vireo 1 CAROLINA WREN (singing lots) 51 OC Warblers, narrowly beating out YR Warbler (50) for day's most numerous warbler. About 5-10 of these were exceptionally dull, duller than I've seen so far this fall, and caused me to think that the might be of the nominate race, celata. 2 NASHVILLE WARBLERS (1 very dull, long tailed, wagging tail lots - must of been western bird; other ???) 1 YELLOW WARBLER (late!!!) 4 White-throated Sparrows 1 BLUE GROSBEAK (late!!!) There was also a WINTER WREN on the wooded crossdike at the base of the lake at Akron GC. The day was fabulous, with 80+ species just at Prewitt. For some reason, in OCTOBER of all things, the mosquitos went nuts, making birding the inlet canal a chore, though a birdy one. The area below the dam was a big YAAAWWWNNNN. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
