I briefly checked the north end of the chigger invested Lamar Community College grove, Prowers County, and saw the usual Northern Cardinals (at least two), and an American Redstart.
Then I went to Melody Tempel Grove, in NE Bent County and there was a nice flock of birds in there, on the west side of Road 35. two Barn Owls, a Least Flycatcher, two Great Crested Flycatchers, two Cassin's Vireos, a very bright Blue-headed Vireo, two Warbling Vireos, a Red-eyed Vireo, a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, two Ovenbirds, an American Redstart, and a Townsend's Warbler. I found one flock of birds at Hasty Campground in Bent County, which included two American Redstarts and a Red-eyed Vireo. At Van's Grove in Bent County, a female Black-chinned Hummingbird was the best thing (though not too exciting since they breed there). A pretty fun morning in SE Colorado on a cooler day, only in the 70s out there today. I had a good feeling the cold front was going to bring in some fun birds today to SE Colorado and it did. I wish I had more time to check other groves of trees today, as I'm sure there were birds at most of them. -- Brandon Percival Pueblo West, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
