Things are really heating up in this high elevation valley. Today I found a Black Phoebe at Home Lake SWA. This species is unusual to rare in our area. It was last seen on the north side of Home Lake near the canal. Yesterday my wife Lisa spotted an Ash-throated Flycatcher (unusual) in the willows north of the Veterans Center. And at the Veteran Center crabapple trees (one of the best places to bird when crabapples are flowering like now), Yellow, OC, YR, and Virginia's Warblers were in the trees and shrubs. All in Rio Grande County.
Mary Thompson has a White-throated Sparrow (unusual) to accompany the Brown Thrasher (unusual) lurking in her shrubs. She is located at the 1E and 1S intersection in Monte Vista, just south of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife office. She invites birders to stop and check it out. We are doing our big day and fundraiser on wed May 8th. Our goal is to find 101 or more species to match the 101 years of the Migratory Bird Treaty act. Stay tuned.
