Hello, Birders.
In the U.K., they call it vismig, cutsie Brit shorthand for "visible migration." Anyhow, I got me some yesterday morning, Sat., Sept. 22nd, at Walden Ponds, Boulder County: 1. A steady flight of high-flying, generally southbound Audubon's Warblers; 2. An immature Red-headed Woodpecker that flew in from the east, landed on a snag, and then kept going; and 3. Two fairly low Chestnut-collared Longspurs (thought they would land, no such luck) over Cottonwood Marsh, just rattlin' along. Meanwhile, migrants "on the ground" were slow, slow, slow. Gambel's White-crowned Sparrows are back in droves, but, otherwise, just some dribs and drabs: a few Greater Yellowlegs and Snowy Egrets; a Wilson's Warbler here, a Western Wood-Pewee there; scattered Lincoln's and Vesper Sparrows; stuff like that... Nice morning. Ted Floyd [email protected] Lafayette, Boulder County, Colorado -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
