I stopped for a few minutes on the Canon City Riverwalk on my way to an appt. Thre were a good number of Tree Swallows flying in the area, apparently a new group moving through. There were fair number of Yellow-rumped Warblers and a few Yellow Warblers working the trees. I spotted a first of the year Plumbeous Vireo high in a mature cottonwood by the river then noticed a hummer perched on a branch about 35 feet above the ground. Upon further inspection with my binocs I could see it was sitting on a nest that was very well camouflaged. I got photos of the hummer and a very pretty Yellow Warbler that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog<http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/>.
As I drove through Florence I found the dark ibis flock had increased to at least 350 birds today spread across one recently flooded ag field but I didn't have time to look for Glossy or hybrid birds. When I got back in town I stopped at Florence River Park where I spotted a Green Heron, likely the same one I have seen and reported on since last week. I have uploaded photos to my blog of the Eastern Phoebe I took a few days ago (I didn't look today as a thunderstorm was moving in).
