Hello Fellow Birders, I awoke ~ 7:30 this morning to a curiously melodic whirring sound wafting in the open bedroom windows. There was also an occasional chatter that I have heard before somewhere else but I couldn't peg it. Looking up into the leaves of the 60-foot aspens just outside the window I could see bits of bright yellow near the top. I put Merlin on the task and he didn't respond to the whirring, but the first chatter he heard he identifed as Western Kingbird. Once he told me that I recognized it as well, the fact that it was 'out of place' had kept me from identifying it. What I had was a pair of Western Kingbirds feeding four fledglings! Assuming they hadn't flown in from eastern Colorado I have to guess they'd been nesting somewhere close by, but I've never before seen or heard them in my little townhouse neighborhood 1/4 mile northwest of the intersection of Holly & Arapahoe.
