Good afternoon,
This morning I saw a gray flycatcher and a first summer male American
redstart along Boulder Creek as accessed from the east CU campus near the
Space Science building. Both birds were quite a ways west (upstream) from
the normal sweet spot. My best advice to search for these birds, if
interested, is to walk west along the paved path to Prentup Field. When
you see the scoreboard on the north fenceline, exit the paved path and get
as close to the creek as possible. Both birds were in this general area.
The redstart was especially fond of the area on the north side of the creek
near a chain-link enclosure that had a prominent yellow pipe in it. This
is where I first saw and heard the bird singing, but it seemed to move
upstream a bit and further north off the water after my initial sighting.
