Oops. I may be the only one to see 7 species of swallow in a single day in Colorado – IF it were true. Typo! That should have read as “6 species”, which is what I did list in the complete list at the bottom of my email. Thanks for catching that folks.

Highlights were: * 2 Peregrine Falcons * 3 Great Horned Owl nests with young in or nearby each of them * Bonaparte’s Gull (Big J) * Swainson’s Hawks copulating on fence post; 3 different morphs of Swainson’s Hawks seen. Dark chocolate, rufous, and standard. * 7 species of swallow all in one county in Colorado on same day. Not bad. * Cassin’s Kingbird out on Squirrel Creek Rd.
