We arrived yesterday for another visit to Colorado. We are at our vacation home in Estes Park. On my morning walk this morning to get the newspaper, I did my usual birding route on the west end of Estes Park. I had two singing male Ruby-crowned Kinglets which I see from eBird have not yet been recorded west of the foothills this year. Also had a nice singing male Myrtle form of the Yellow-rumped Warbler, I see one other reported so far this year in eBird down at Lake Estes. I encountered two flocks of Evening Grosbeak and was surprised to see they have not been reported in eBird this year anywhere around Estes Park and adjacent Rocky Mountain National Park. Lots of other first-of-year western birds for me. Also enjoyed an early visit by the neighborhood Wild Turkeys to our feeder area.
Looking forward to more interesting birds on our visit. Jim Nelson\ Bethesda, Maryland -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
