Hi all, A few things to add from today in SE Colorado.
Kara Carragher and I saw two Townsend's Warblers in Lamar. One was near the Blue-winged Warbler at Lamar Community College. Another, was found flying into a tree in front of the Frontier Bank on the east side of Oak Street in Lamar, while we were stopped at a red light! We saw a male Blackpoll Warbler, a Harris's Sparrow, and male Red-bellied Woodpecker near Thurston Reservoir in northern Prowers County. We saw a molting male Summer Tanager at the Melody Tempel Grove, in NE Bent County. Also, present there today, were the male Hooded Warbler, Cassin's Vireo, Eastern Phoebe, Red-bellied Woodpecker, female Baltimore Oriole, and a Red-breasted Nuthatch. Other birds at Lamar CC, the usual Carolina Wren was singing, as was a Northern Cardinal, also two Red-bellied Woodpeckers, a Harris's Sparrow, two White-throated Sparrows. Thurston Reservoir, had a Sanderling, Stilt Sandpipers, Long-billed Dowitchers, Willet. At Lake Cheraw, there was a Peregrine Falcon, Snowy and Semipalmated Plovers. A flooded field near by, had some shorebirds too, Black-necked Stilts, Willet, Lesser Yellowlegs were the best ones. The leaves in most trees in SE Colorado are barely green or not green at all.
