Hello, Birders. As John Tumasonis notes, it's challenging to get around Boulder County right now, and it's illegal to go birding at many hot spots in the county. But as John also says, there's a lot out there, everywhere. Walk around your neighborhood for just four or five minutes, and you'll hear the "wenk?" call of a Wilson's Warbler. Find a clump of willows, pish at it, and out will pop a half dozen Willys.
I feel compelled to comment on a Gray Flycatcher that I reported yesterday, Friday, September 13th, to eBird. The birds was just south of the Teller Farms parking area off Valmont Road. It was in an area that is illegal to enter--a point several of you have raised with me in private e-correspondence! But the bird wasn't yet illegal when I was there... :-) The yellow tape musta gone up right after I left. So the bird is now, it would seem, not legally chaseable. Sorry! By the way, the night flight overnight, Friday-Saturday, Sept. 13-14, was decent over Lafayette.
