Hey COBirders, Some good migrant movement today, numerous recaptured birds banded earlier this week, plus 3 returns from 2020. Highlight today at dawn was a Lucy’s Warbler (after Hatch-year Male - couldn’t be more specific - had adult-type rusty cap, and size of cap feathers, and adult-style tail and wing feathers, but was really worn and faded compared to what I’d expect. Pyle says most can’t be aged accurately -so….AHY Male). Photo below.
Other birds worth mentioning - Dusky Flycatcher, Ad - only my third this spring - flycatchers seem really late so far. Warbling Vireo SY (#5 of these so far - most years I might get 1-2) Audubon’s Yellow-rumped Warbler (SY F) -(again - I don’t catch many - they are usually too high in the canopy) 9 Yellow Warblers 2 Wilson’s Warblers (#9, my most ever in the spring) 7 Chipping Sparrows (yawn) 1 Clay-colored Sparrow (Ad) 5 Lincoln’s Sparrows 4 White-crowned Sparrows (1 Gambel’s, 3 Mountain) 1 Swainson’s Thrush and FOS seen - 3 Eastern Kingbirds. Finally! Not sure about tomorrow - forecast is for rain all morning. We’ll see. Have a good week, Steve Brown Colo Spgs -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
