A melanistic swallow (Northern Rough-Winged?) was present along Clear Creek about 150 yards west of I-70 today. I saw it feeding in flight over the creek several times but not landed. The bird appeared uniformly dark all over.
In addition to lots of Cliff, N. Rough-Winged, and Barn Swallows, there were many Cedar Waxwings including YOY, Snowy Egrets, Spotted Sandpipers, Yellow Warblers, Warbling Vireos, a Cinnamon Teal, Great Blue Herons, Black-crowned Night Herons, loads of Cormorants, Mallard families, etc. A birdy place and for a change of pace you can always watch the GOLD MINERS working the creek.
