April went out like a lion. Starting around 2:30 pm this Tues., Apr. 30, afternoon, we got heavy sleet and snow in eastern Boulder County, so I headed over to Greenlee Preserve & environs to see what was out and about. Conditions were trying, but the birds were plentiful, among them the following: 1 *wood duck,* 4 *hooded mergansers,* 5 *western grebes,* 2 *American avocets,* 5 *least sandpipers,* 2 *semipalmated sandpipers,* 1 *Wilson phalarope,* 1 *spotted sandpiper,* 1 *solitary sandpiper,* 1 *snowy egret,* 1 *osprey, *1 *peregrine falcon*, 1 *Empidonax sp.* (gray flycatcher was my guess), 4 *bushtits,* 1 *ruby-crowned kinglet,* 10+ *white-crowned sparrows,* 1 *white-throated sparrow,* 4 *Lincoln sparrows,* 6 *orange-crowned warblers,* 4 *myrtle warblers,* and 10 *Audubon warblers.*
