Hello, Birders. I went out for about an hour in the rain this morning at Greenlee Preserve, Boulder County, and there were birds galore: 1 *blackpoll warbler,* 1 *northern waterthrush;* *gray, dusky,* and *Hammond flycatchers;* 3 *western wood-pewees;* *clay-colored, Brewer,* and *chipping sparrows;* 1 *Lincoln sparrow;* 1 *green-tailed towhee;* 1 *black-headed grosbeak* and 1 grosbeak spuh; 6 *western tanagers;* 3 *Bullock orioles* and 1 oriole spuh; 4 *Swainson thrushes;* 2 *gray catbirds;* and probably some stuff I'm forgetting. There were a couple ibis spuh in the grass on the north side of Greenee Reservoir, plus the continuing *wood ducks.* Speaking of continuing, *bushtits* continue in the area, as does a lovelorn *African collared-dove.*
If you live where it's raining right now, see if you can get out today, if just for a little while. I suspect that this land bird fallout is widespread.
