This morning I found my first of year Wilson's Warbler on the Canon City Riverwalk. Only other warbler that I saw there this morning was a Yellow-rumped-but haven't seen one of those for awhile. Found a pair of Western Bluebirds foraging together then carrying food presumably to a nest. I tried to follow but they flooding the area but I did get some photos of them that I uploaded to my blog. Yellow Warblers and a few Indigo Buntings singing there along with 2 Black-headed Grosbeak. House Wrens are few and far between when usually thick. The pair of phoebes, at least one a hybrid and the other may be an Eastern, continue to feed nestlings under the culvert across from the vault toilet near the Sell's Lake trailhead. Finally hearing Gray Catbirds which had been resident on the Riverwalk the past several years.
This afternoon I heard my first of the year Common Yellowthroat at the Florence River Park. The only other warbler there was one Yellow--everything seems to be in ones. Sometime this afternoon a big arrival of Tree Swallows occurred from at least the east side of Canon City to Holcim Wetlands east of Florence. I saw hundreds of them , mostly perched on power lines while hundreds of Violet-green Swallows worked the water. My neighborhood Gray Catbird stopped at my yard for the first time this season two days ago. Today I watched him forage under in the leaf litter I leave under my crab apple trees.
