Over the weekend we birded the RMNP and Estes area, here are the highlights
9/2 Hollowell Park: American Three Toad Woodpecker Cassin's Vireo-in the very first large aspen grove you come to along the trail. Townsends Warbler(3) all Juvies http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S38959136 Bear Lake(from Hollowell) American Three Toad Woodpecker Cassin's Vireos(2)- both were in a large mixed flock in a denser lodgepoll section of the hike. Townsends Warbler(2) both adult males Veery- one probable migrant http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S38959147 Mathews Reeser Bird Sanctuary Northern Pintail Ruddy Duck(2) Macgilivaray's Warbler(2) http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S38959149 9/3 Lake Estes Sanderling Semipalmated Sandpiper(2) Sage Thrasher Upper Beaver Meadows Cassin's Vireo- our best look at the species on the trip, and we were finally able to get comparison looks between CAVI and PLVI. Rose Breasted Grosbeak- a presumed first year bird staying quite low in the restoration area WEST of the parking lot. Warbler sp. an almost definite hatch year Magnolia Warbler, which I called originally, but after looking at pictures of Juvie Canada, and Nashville Warblers, I couldn't be 110% sure. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S38984733 Endovally picnic area and trails American Three Toed Woodpecker Hammonds Flycatcher Townsends Warbler- not quite the best of looks but appeared to be an adult female. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S38984730 Good Birding Luke Pheneger Longmont, Colorado -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
