I also had a first time Ash-throated flycatcher nest in one of my bluebird nest boxes this year and there were 5 fledglings that appeared to have left the nest successfully between 7/3 and 7/9. We have just started with nest boxes on our land in 2011, and now have 13 boxes total. Another nest box monitor in Rockdale, also Fremont County (between Cotopaxi and Howard), had Ash-throated flycatchers in previous years (and maybe this year too) in her bluebird boxes.

Thought this was probably the best place to post it. Silvia Brockner (now in Assisted living in Evergreen) received a letter from an old birding friend, who advised her of an Ash-throated Flycatcher nest box in her YARD. · The person in whose yard this bird is located is: JANET MALLOW, PO Box 357, Howard Colorado. Telephone# 719-942-3090. · If someone were to phone Janet, it is my guess that she would welcome the call with “open arms” (i.e. as she knew the great/late Bill Brockner). · I have no information other than what I add here. I do not know Janet – and I cannot certify that this bird is correctly identified! · Silvia told me that the adults are using Janet’s backyard “nest box”. If nothing else, this lead is probably worth investigating. Will Burt Jefferson County -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
