Several weeks ago I found a pair of Gray Flycatchers nesting in a juniper in Red Canyon Park which is about 10 miles north of Canon City (and a mountain park belonging to the City of Canon City). I went out of town so didn't get the photos up then thought I would wait until the babies fledged to get photos of them to go with the nesting photos. The monsoon rains delayed my return as the roads get bad so I didn't get up there to look for fledglings until Saturday--then couldn't find any Gray Flycatchers. Since there was a bunch of people there over the week-end I went back today. While looking for the nest in the nest tree I noticed a Gray Flycatcher had flown in not far away. It stayed for a minute or two but my view was backlit. If the nesting was successful the parents may have already moved the fledglings away from the nest area. I have uploaded the photos of the Gray Flycatcher on the nest onto my Birds and Nature blog.<http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/> Note the nesting photos are close-up views but I took all the photos from inside my car with a 1200mm zoom equivalent (or 50 times the normal view) to minimize disturbance.
