Birders, On a blustery day with north winds reaching 40 mph, I ventured to John Martin State Park to buy an annual State Parks Pass. I dared to get out of my car in the Hasty Campground. It was worth it, despite having to wear a winter parka and hat.
Near Campsite 79, I had a singing male Northern Parula, a male Black-and-White Warbler, a male Blackpoll Warbler, and a singing Plumbeous Vireo. On the gravel under the slide in the playground, I photographed an Ovenbird. I undoubtedly missed some birds due to the howling wind and cold. At Van's Grove, I had another Northern Parula, this time a female. There are numerous closures due to fires, but I saw my third Northern Parula of the day on the east side of Bent County Road 16 just east of the closed Ft. Lyon Wildlife Easement.
