Since I returned from a lengthy out of state trip earlier this week I have found the Eastern Phoebes nesting again in the same vulnerable spot. In fact they have just rebuilt the same nest each year for the past several years I have followed them. The female is apparently sitting on eggs at this time which is later than prior years and since I saw one of them with nesting material on 4-23 this might be a second nesting.
I saw an apparent Black Phoebe tonight near the Sell's Lake part of the Canon City Riverwalk. I had heard one calling from the across the river in that area 2 days ago. I suspect they are nesting nearby. I also saw a Black Phoebe on the north side of the Arkansas River near the pedestrian bridge. I haven't been able to check further down the Riverwalk or at Florence River Park for phoebes yet. Today I saw 15 or more Cedar Waxwing along the Arkansas River, with several in the trees by Sell's Lake. I haven't added any pics from Canon to my Birds and Nature blog <http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/> yet but some may be interested in the many photos I took from my stay in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas (ie, N. Beardless Tyrranulet hatchling in nest and adult singing, Groove-billed Anis, Yellow-Green Vireo, Least Bittern, eastern warblers) SeEtta Moss Canon City http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
