Folks, Loch and I birded a few Weld County hotspots today. Norma's grove had 40ish Swainson's Thrushes and 1 Palm Warbler. Crow Valley held tons of Swainson's Thrushes, several Veerys, a Blackpoll Warbler, an American Redstart and a female Tennessee Warbler. After looking at photographs, I am convinced there was just one Tennessee Warbler. East of Kersey on Weld County Road 59, we had hundreds of phalaropes most of which were Wilson's. It seemed every body of water in Weld County including puddles up and down Bebe Draw contained phalaropes. Other shorebirds observed were Stilt Sandpipers, Long-billed Dowitchers, 1 Short-billed Dowitcher, Sanderlings and many, many phalaropes. We found a single Northern Waterthrush in an irrigation ditch along Bebe Draw. Photos of these and other birds, including a cross-billed Western Tanager can be viewed by following these links.
