Hi Everyone,
This morning 9/2, I was up early and birded Last Chance from 0530 to 0830. It was pretty busy. Here's my list: Eur Collared-Dove Mourning Dove Great Horned Owl (3 calling when I arrived) Common Nighthawk Western Wood-Pewee (one of which was giving a shortened version of its dawn song) Hammond's Flycatcher Dusky Flycatcher "Traill's" Flycatcher (2: one well vested, the other not-probably both Willow due to complete lack of any eye ring, but interesting, nonetheless) Say's Phoebe Western Kingbird Warbling Vireo House Wren Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Am Robin Gray Catbird Brown Thrasher Eur Starling Orange-crowned Warbler Yellow Warbler Townsend's Warbler Black-throated Gray Warbler (!) Ovenbird (2) Am Redstart (3) MacGillivray's Warbler Wilson's Warbler Chipping Sparrow Clay-colored Sparrow Lark Sparrow Lincoln's Sparrow Black-headed Grosbeak Lazuli Bunting Western Meadowlark Orchard Oriole House Finch House Sparrow I birded Jackson Reservoir from 0930 to 1200. I walked east from the parking lot to where there is a flat spot overlooking the grass on the northeast corner. I counted close to 50 Killdeer. The two Buff-breasted Sandpipers are still present. I saw one Semipalmated Plover, maybe 10 American Avocets. No Black-bellied or Mountain Plovers. Norm Erthal's group arrived as I returned back to the parking lot. In the NW corner, we noted at least five Stilt Sandpipers, several Western Sandpipers, a few Semipalmated and Least Sandpipers, one dowitcher sp., one Red-necked Phalarope, two Wilson's Phalarope, both yellowlegs, lots of Bairds. I stopped at the pond at MCR 2 and MCR O (one of the Andrick Ponds), where there were a Black-necked Stilt, a Solitary Sandpiper, and a Greater Yellowlegs. A Common Yellowthroat made nine warbler species for the day. Mark Miller Longmont, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
