Hello, Birders.
This message will perhaps prompt the following question: "He was doing *what*?"
The rest of the story:
I slept outside near Dry Creek, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, this past
night, Wed.-Thurs., Aug. 15-16. After the front passed and winds calmed,
sometime overnight, there was a good flight of nocturnal migrants: mainly
Yellow Warblers and Chipping Sparrows, and lower numbers of Lark Sparrows and
Brewer's/Clay-colored Sparrows. Then, as I prowled the mean streets of nw.
Colorado at sunrise ("He was doing *what*?"), I heard migrants' flight calls
everywhere. Right near I-25: Chipping and Lark sparrows galore; a Western
Tanager here, a Black-headed Grosbeak there; the little "electric buzzer"
flight calls of Yellow Warblers; more Chippies and Larks; and a smattering of
Brewer's/Clay-coloreds.
I'm sure they're all headed for Chico Basin Ranch...
