Hi all, I birded with the Durango Bird Club group today at Chico Basin Ranch.
The highlights follow: Pueblo County side: Chestnut-sided Warbler - 1 photographed at Rose Pond Townsend's Warbler - 1 male at Rose Pond Northern Waterthrush - 1 at Rose Pond (thanks to David Chartier) Ovenbird - 1 at Headquarters (seen by Susan Allerton) Least Flycatcher - 1 at Headquarters Olive-sided Flycatcher - 1 at Headquarters Red-breasted Nuthatch - 1 El Paso County side (banding station): Black-and-white Warbler - 1 female/imm. Cassin's Vireo - 1 Blue-headed/Cassin's Vireo - 1 (the bird had a dark head, though we couldn't quite be sure which it was) Hammond's Flycatcher - 1 Willow Flycatcher - 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch - 1 Clay-colored Sparrows, Blue Grosbeak, Brown Thrashers, Lazuli Bunting, Yellow-breasted Chat, Lincoln's Sparrow, among other birds. There are a lot of sparrows in the trees, lots of Chippings and Brewer's (many of them singing). In the cholla cactus, we saw Scaled Quail, Curve-billed and Sage Thrashers, Vesper Sparrows, and a Northern Harrier. Along Hanover Road, west of Meridian Road, there was a body of water on the south side of Hanover Road, where we saw five Black Terns.
