On Sept 14 a male *Nashville Warbler* was with a mixed Warbler flock (also Wilson's, Orange-crowned, Yellow, and Common Yellowthroat) at Massey Draw beside my home in Ken Caryl Valley. In my yard I also had a *Rock Wren* stop in at a rocky area in the front, a *Townsend's Warbler*, and the first *Brown Creeper* and *Cedar Waxwings* I've had near my home in quite a while.
On Sept 15 I began at Chatfield SP near dawn, hoping for a Sabine's or some such. But not. The marina sand spit had a female *American Redstart *in the willow clumps out towards the tip. The Platte delta area had a *Chimney Swift* flying south through Barn Swallows, a *Great Egret,* and my first two *American Wigeons* in the park for this season. At these two stops the only shorebird I saw besides Killdeer was a Spotted Sandpiper at the marina tires. Massey Draw near my home had an *Olive-sided Flycatcher* and lot's of *Lincoln's Sparrows*, and a *Sage Thrasher* visited my yard. At Hine Lake in Robert A. Easton Regional Park I saw six *Chimney Swifts* flying south during 25 minutes amid many southbound Barn Swallows, and a nice count of 11 *Swainson's Hawks* included a little kettle of 9. On Sept 16 I had my first *Dark-eyed Juncos* (Pink-sided) in the yard since early spring. Right now, Sept 17, a lovely *Green-tailed Towhee* is breakfasting at the front yard feeding station.
