First sounds coming thru my bedroom window this morning about a mile east of
the CSU campus in Fort Collins were the calls of two adult White-throated
Sparrows feeding in the grass with Chipping Sparrows.
At Crow Valley Campground at Briggsdale (Weld), the highlights were:
Palm Warbler (western race) along the e-w trail that parallels the south
fenceline under the giant cottonwood ssw of the Main Picnic Shelter
Black-throated Blue Warbler (female) (same location as the Palm)
White-breasted Nuthatch (1 interior race)
Red-breasted Nuthatch (at least 5)
Hermit Thrush (2)
Lesser Goldfinch (heard)
Hairy Woodpecker (1 eastern)
Eastern Bluebird (3-4)
Mountain Bluebird (1)
Barn Swallow (still a few flying overhead, mostly southward)
Wilson's Warbler (1)
Orange-crowned Warbler (5, race undetermined)
MacGillivray's Warbler (1 f)
McCown's Longspur (2 flyovers) getting late
Northern Mockingbird (at least 1 persists)
Black-capped Chickadee (the 1 individual present for weeks persists)
[no White-throated Sparrows!]
Roselawn Cemetery (in Fort Collins on the north side of Mulberry just e of
Summitview = 1 mile w of I-25) hightlights:
White-breasted Nuthatch (1 eastern)
Mountain Chickadee (2)
lots of action in the hackberries just inside the entrance (all common species,
including Yellow-rumped Warblers and both chickadee spp. today)
Chipping Sparrows (still several)
House Wren (1) getting late
