Hey, all. On a short, unbinoculared ramble about my Lafayette, Boulder Co., neighborhood earlier this foggy Wed. morning, May 10 [Mom's 84th birthday; note to self, CALL], I saw at least 6 *clay-colored sparrows.* Also heard several "whit" empids and heard a *Pheucticus* grosbeak.
Always nice to see clay-colored sparrows around Lafayette, but with the surface flow this morning directly upslope, their occurrence here was entirely predictable. Because this: https://blog.aba.org/2018/05/happening-now-upslope-sparrows.html I imagine there's much more out there, especially stuff that migrates a bit to our east. Blackpoll warbler, anyone? Also, if I may, a plea: counties, *counties,* *COUNTIES* in our COBirds reports. The ultimate offenders are those reporting from a mysterious place called CCSP. That's Castlewood Canyon State Park in Douglas Co., right? It's also the 4-letter code (just say no) for the clay-colored sparrow. (Hint: Cherry Creek State Park, Arapahoe Co.) People, we can do this! Ted Floyd Lafayette, Boulder Co. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
