I enjoyed a lovely few hours in the sun today at Barr Lake. Birds of note included 1 Cordilleran Flycatcher, 1 Gray FC, and two slightly early migrant Nashville Warblers (the NAWA are on the boat ramp side of the park in the ditch). There were also MANY Yellow Warblers around (mostly females/juveniles), House Wrens in abundance, and Chickadees and Goldfinch calling from all directions. Most of the Kingbirds of both variety have left, as have almost all of the Orioles (I only saw one juvenile male Bullock's left). Shore birds are not many though shore line is abundant (water is fairly low), with just a few Yellowlegs (both species), and Spotted and Solitary Sandpipers (of course Killdeer too). I didn't carry my scope, but what I could see of water birds included a good size group of Western Grebes (with a couple of Clarks mixed in) and little else of note. I got some decent shots of the Nashville Warblers which can be found on my Flickr site at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aphelionart/ Happy birding- Cathy Sheeter Ft. Lupton, CO
