SWAINSON'S WARBLER (tentatively identified from poor looks in the field as
"Warbler sp.) but "good enough" photos by Janeal Thompson show the bird as a
much better species than what was speculated at the time. Seen by Jane Stulp,
Janeal Thompson, and Gary Koehn. Spent all its time under two juniper bushes
near a private residence in the Tempel Grove area. It should be looked for in
the dry understory south of the Melody Temple bench. Please respect Mr.
Tempel's request to limit birding to the canal road.
WOOD THRUSH (found and reported earlier by Duane Nelson - as an example of how
rare and difficult to observe this species can be, Duane has found a ton of
birds in CO and this was his first Wood Thrush. Congrats to Duane). I think
Duane and maybe Norma Verhoeff got confirming photos.
GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER (1m) - first found by Jane Stulp right over the Melody
Tempel bench. It disappeared for over 2 hours and was then refound, seen by
all four of us. Photos obtained.
Other species of note at Tempel's Grove:
Northern Waterthrush
Yellow-breasted Chat
MacGillivray's Warbler (at least 2)
Ovenbird (2)
Summer Tanager (1 mottled male)
Rose-breasted Grosbeak (1i m)
Wild Turkey (1)
Townsend's Solitaire (getting pretty late and hot)
Gray Catbird (2)
Swainson's Thrush (1)
Hermit Thrush (at least 8)
Empid (1)
Eastern Phoebe (1) attempting to nest under CR35 bridge but Duane says
grackles are giving them a hard time.
