This morning I made a short stop at Arapaho Bend Natural Area in Fort Collins and saw several butterbutts (yellow-rumped warblers) and about 30 violet-green swallows flying catching insects. The great surprise was a new bird but a cooperative one so I could positively ID it, an ash-throated flycatcher. It was catching insects at the lower edge of the cottonwoods and I watched it scoop a large insect, maybe a grasshopper, into its beak and land. Dave, it was unmistakable with the size, color, and markings.
