April 19 3 *Western Bluebirds *at Jackass Hill Park in Littleton were an uncommon find for Arapahoe Co. A flock of 7 *Long-billed Curlews* flew over St. Mary Catholic Church along South Prince, Littleton.
April 21 An *Osprey* flew north of South Valley Park in Ken Caryl Valley, JeffCo. Chatfield Swim Beach (JeffCo) had a fishing *Osprey*, 2 *Marbled Godwits* flying north, a *Spotted Sandpiper* and a *Least Sandpiper*. A *Clark's Grebe* was among Westerns, and *Franklin's* and *Bonaparte's Gulls* were on the water, and 5 species of swallows. Kingfisher Bridge had the continuing pair of *Eastern Phoebes*. One of the pair was working on a nest. The riparian along the South Platte upstream of Kingfisher on the Douglas side had a male *Northern Parula* (not singing), and *House Wrens *had returned in force. The pair of *Eastern Phoebes* at Plum Creek near the picnic area (Douglas) was duly noted and checked off. Some well-dressed migrant *Yellow-rumped Warblers* of both Myrtle and Audubon forms were a welcome sight. A *Wilson's Snipe *was in a flooded open area near my Ken Caryl home...not a big deal but good I think for Ken Caryl Valley. A *Green-tailed Towhee* was along the Hogback Trail north of Massey Draw in the KC Valley. April 22 The Sacred Heart Retreat House grounds near Sedalia (Douglas) had a *Green-tailed Towhee*, male *Western Tanager*, and a singing *Cassin's Finch*. Also a *Brewer's Sparrow* and a large number of *Chipping Sparrows.* David Suddjian Littleton, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
