Hey, all. Well, Bryan's prediction was spot-on for the Greenlee/Waneka/Hecla complex of eastern Boulder County. It was cool and cloudy this Sunday afternoon, Sept. 27, with new arrivals galore. Here's a summary:
* 2 *ring-necked ducks* and another *Aythya*, the first diving ducks there this season for me * 2 gorgeous juvenile *red-necked phalaropes* * 1 adult *sharp-shinned hawk,* first-of-season for me for the site * 1 *mountain chickadee* * 7 *ruby-crowned kinglets,* a high count * 5 *red-breasted nuthatches,* also a high count * 1 *Townsend solitaire,* first of season * 1 *hermit thrush,* first of season * 10 *lesser goldfinches,* some of which were probably arrivals overnight * 10 *chipping sparrows* and a couple of *Spizella* spuhs * 1 *Oregon junco* (with a tinge of pink-sided, it seemed) * 12 *white-crowned sparrows,* all of them apparently *gambelii* * 1 *Lincoln sparrow* * 7 *orange-crowned warblers* * 100+ *Audubon warblers* (didn't see any myrtles in the mix) * 15+ *Wilson warblers* * 2 *Townsend warblers* * 1 candidate black-throated green x Townsend warbler Thanks, Bryan, for the exhortation to get out and find stuff!
