In the Sodium vapor glow from streetlights illuminating the low cloud ceiling over Boulder late this evening, I heard a Nighthawk hunting above. Sunday, I saw a Black Chinned Hummingbird in the field with a few Bobolinks west of Gaptor and Old Tale roads. When I got home, I heard and then saw a Black headed Grosbeak in my yard. Chimney Swifts and Cedar Waxwings are now regular flying over during the day. My Mulberry tree is full of happy robins and starlings and finches. The family of crows have gotten pretty testy about the yard as some of their young have fledged and are staring blankly from the bushes behind the house. They do not like it when people walk down the sidewalk and they really let you know it. A few Lesser Goldfinches have returned. One other bird of note, a very vocal Ruby Crowned Kinglet has been singing from the spruce trees east of 17th along the creek path. enjoy the damp weather. Lonny Frye Boulder
