[cobirds] Black-throated Gray Virginia's Warblers + Gray Flycatchers in Fremont Co PJ
Late yesterday afternoon while checking on habitat integrity in a BLM location called Seep Springs I spotted an adult male Black-throated Gray Warbler (a good sign) and got some photos of him that I have uploaded to my BirdsAndNature http://http//BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com blog. Two nights before, between 7-7:30 pm, I saw 1-2 Gray Flycatchers and 1 Virginia's Warblers in Red Canyon Park. Both locations are composed of very nice and some old growth pinyon-juniper habitat. The Seep Springs Area is located directly west of Red Canyon Park in Fremont County -you just follow the one road through Red Canyon Park to the adjacent Seep Springs (this is a primitive area with no amenities and dirt roads are pretty rugged due to recent stormwater runoff). Red Canyon Park is located 8 miles north of Canon City on CR9 (see Colo County Birding). These species will soon be migrating south.

[cobirds] Lower Latham report
Hi Cobirders. I thank those who Checked last Saturday Morning. On Friday when I got there there were several hundred shorebirds of good variety. Another birder was at the west end of the flooded meadow. He seemed to be taking pictures ( I hope) and checking stuff. He turned around before I got that far and I did not recognize him. Any way I was super tired and the Ruff were near the shore along with a red legged type like a Red Shank. I didn't have the telescope with me but didn't really need it and no heat waves! On Joey Kellner's DFO trip Sunday I was able to go. We made that flooded Lower Latham meadow on Rd 48 our last stop. The number shorebirds was only about one tenth of what was there Friday early afternoon with a big dark cloud overhead making poor light at times. I am working on using my telescope with a digiscope device and my camera. Slow setting up! Great birding out there.
