Hi COBirders, I was at Chico Basin Ranch - the Holmes Grove, this morning doing some preliminary clearing before the banding station opens up after Labor Day. I got pretty good looks at several migrants including:
15 Com Nighthawks, all together, about 1100 Black-chinned Hummingbird female Empid Flycatcher - probably Dusky based on long tail Warbling Vireo Wilson's Warbler - several females Yellow Warbler probably hatch-year male Yellow-breasted Chat Red-breasted Nuthatch - male Western Tanager male and a few Chipping, Lark, and Vesper Sparrows also an adult Brown Thrasher - maybe not a migrant. Western Kingbirds Blue Jay Am Robins It wasn't THICK with birds, but a good variety anyway. It is dry. The only things that appear to be growing well are the unwelcome Russian Olives. Good birding, Steve Brown Colorado Springs (Mountain Shadows) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
