Dear Hermit Warbler chasers, Note the date and time of Mel and Jeanne’s note – apparently their observation was from Tuesday afternoon, not this afternoon. I was among the unsuccessful chasers today. Some additional species that moved through the oasis that were not mentioned by others were: House Wren Winter Wren Ruby-crowned Kinglet Brown Thrasher Orange-crowned Warbler Green-tailed Towhee Spotted/Eastern Towhee hybrid female (brown above – like Eastern - with white spots on scapulars - like Spotted - and extensive white mark on wing – like Eastern) Pine Siskin (flock of 13)
Back closer to home I was able to refind the Red-necked Grebe at MacIntosh Reservoir in Longmont. I had to look at each individual Western Grebe (about 500 present) twice before I found it, using a telescope. Two attempts to refind the Anna’s Hummingbird in Longmont (one in the morning, and one in the afternoon) were unsuccessful.

We got a late start today and did not arrive there until just a couple of minutes after 3pm. We went straight to the northeast corner and began our search. After about 20 minutes, the bird landed on one of the mailboxes and then went into the elm directly above. We got three short but clear views and as reported, it appears to be an immature female. Of course, having some great cobirders report on the bird made it much easier for us to ID. We also got great views of the Black-throated Blue Warbler, but we did not see a Nashville Warbler. We also had great views of the Sora and had a band of Cedar Waxwings go through.
