Hello, all. Just a quick note here. I heard 7 Chipping Sparrow flight calls during about 15 minutes at around 4am this morning, Monday, July 18th, 2011. Location was Lafayette, eastern Boulder County, Colorado. Chipping Sparrows do not breed in eastern Boulder County. These were nocturnal migrants heading east from their breeding grounds in the Rocky Mountains to their molting grounds on the plains of eastern Colorado and western Kansas.
Fun to hear "fall" migrants in mid-July! ------------------------------- Ted Floyd Editor, Birding Please check out the website of the ABA: http://tinyurl.com/6kmbfvx And please check out The ABA Blog: http://tinyurl.com/4n6qswt We're on twitter, too: http://tinyurl.com/2ejzlzv ------------------------------- -- NFC-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_WELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_RULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC-L_SubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NFCL.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
