This morning a male *Blackpoll Warbler* was along Massey Draw near my home, and a small pond there had a *Spotted Sandpiper* (whose calls I could hear now and again from my yard). An apparent pair (friendly in each other's presence, no chasing) of *Downy Woodpeckers* at my yard is comprised of an apparent *Eastern *individual and an apparent *Mountain* individual. It is apparent that I'm not positive of the subspecies IDs, but that is what they look like. I've seen the Eastern Male for a while now, but this was the first day I've seen the two together in friendly fashion. The local Ken Caryl Ranch area is more typically the haunts of the Mountain form of this woodpecker.
Elsewhere in the valley area of Ken Caryl Ranch I found 2 *Band-tailed Pigeon*, 1 fly by *White-winged Dove*, a female *Black-throated Gray Warbler* my first-of-season *Dusky Flycatcher*, *Cordilleran Flycatcher*, and 2 *Western Tanagers*. Also several *Lazuli Buntings*. I had *Evening Grosbeaks* flying over four times at three places, totaling 15 birds if they were all different (probably so). A pair of copulating *Northern Flickers* was comprised of a male intergrade and a seemingly "pure" female Red-shafted.
