Yesterday morning I heard once then saw one distant Black Phoebe on the other side of the Arkansas River from the Canon City Riverwalk. I could not refind today. Looks like the Black Phoebe family is engaged in post-breeding dispersal.
On my way back from a meeting in Pueblo yesterday I couldn't resist the temptation to drive the 5 or so miles to Brush Hollow State Wildlife Area. I did not see the Greater Roadrunner but did hear a few Pinyon Jays calling. As this area had a very heavy rain the day before I could not drive closer to the calls due to mud puddles in the 2 tracks almost as big as my car. I do usually hear Pinyon Jays at this location a few times a year. I have uploaded more photos of the Greater Roadrunner I found there on Tuesday and a short video clip showing it hunting insects and behaving like the entertaining birds they are.
