Hi all I was quite surprised to find a Bobolink on the Pawnee NG yesterday. I drove my "Longspur Hot Spot Route" to see if I could get any more new arrivals.
- Bobolink (1) singing up a storm at Weld CR 45/114 it preferred the NW corner (taller grasses) and fence line on south and east. I saw him when I first got there and again upon completion of route about an hour later. Photos taken. First one I have seen on PNG since I have been up here (2002). Had one in my yard about 15 years ago. - MacGillvray's Warbler (1) along Weld CR 41 - Western Tanager (1) along Weld CR 102 east of 41, first I have found this year - Orchard Oriole (1) same location as tanager, first I have found this year - Cassin's Sparrow (5+) along Weld CR 41 both sides of road - Blue Grosbeak (4 males) along Weld CR 41, 102 and 45, first I have found this year - Northern Mockingbird (3) along Weld CR 102 east of 41 - Eastern Kingbird (2), first I have found this year - Chestnut-collared and McCown's Longspur were plentiful all around Weld CR 45 x 114 x 122 x 49 - Rock Wren (1) along Weld CR 45 - Loads of Lark Bunting, Horned Lark, Brewer's and Lark Sparrow, and Western Meadowlark. Others include Clay-colored Sparrow, Brown-headed Cowbird, Western Kingbird, Mourning Dove, European Starling, Yellow Warbler, Bullock's Oriole, and Barn Swallow Photos at my web address below.
