Hi all Lone Tree Creek crossing at Weld CR 110 (just west of Hwy 85 in Nunn) had a good smattering of birds:
- Wilson's Warbler - Orange-crowned Warbler - McGillvray's Warbler - Gray Catbird - Green-tailed Towhee - Brown Thrasher - Lapland Longspur (2) flyover and seen briefing on ground with Horned Lark - American Goldfinch - Song Sparrow - Yellow-beasted Chat - Brewer's Sparrow - White-crowned Sparrow - Mourning Dove - American Kestrel - Eurasian-collared Dove - Lark Sparrow Weld CR 124 pond-few miles west of Hwy 77 hosted ducks, geese, Prairie Falcon, Swainson's Hawk, Golden Eagle, Greater Yellowlegs, Baird's and Least Sandpiper. Galeton Ponds heating up. Burrowing Owl still lingering about one mile east of Weld CR 74/61 (ponds). Franklin's Gull (34), Long-biled Dowitcher (12), Stilt Sandpiper (5), Black Tern (8), Forster's Tern 91), Greater Yellowlegs and Wilson's Phalarope. Crow Valley Campground I got 37 species, highlights include Red-headed Woodpecker, Red-naped Sapsucker (2), Laplong Longspur flyover NE corner, Red-breasted Nuthatch, empids, Gray Catbird, Swainson's Thrush, MacGillvray's Warbler, and Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Others reported a vireo species, three Great Horned Owl. Crow Valley question: Has anyone ventured out to the north-south mature tree lines at very western edge of farm property out the (west) back gate? I have not and wondered about how close you can get to them or in them? Or if worth the hike out to them? I've been out on the farm property just never walked that far west. Some photos below.
