I spent about a hour this morning at Golden Ponds. I was only able to spend time around the ponds north of the river. The willows around the ponds were most active with *Wilson's Warblers* and Black-capped Chickadees. I did manage one *Orange-crowned Warbler * and a few *Yellow-rumped Warblers*. I estimated about 200 Barn Swallows with about 10% juvenile *Violet-green Swallows. *ebird flagged the 8 *Northern Rough-winged Swallow* that were perched in a small cottonwood between the first two ponds. It did not flag the 2 *Evening Grosbecks* that were flying NW into olde town Longmont.
I did find a vireo spuh, but I had no time left to wait for it to come out in the open. Around lunch time an imm. *Calliope Hummingbird* made an appearance at the agastache. I quickly filled up a feeder, but it ignored it. Of other note, very active *Red-breasted Nuthatches*, at least 3, and a small flock of *Bushtits*. Bushtits have been very active in NW Longmont this summer. Between MacIntosh Res. and south to my house, I have had flocks of 17 (6/24), 39 (7/23), and 19 (7/25). -- Todd Deininger Longmont, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
