Things are finally heating up this way in the San Luis Valley. Warblers have arrived! Home Lake SWA has been really exciting of late. Here's a list of the best species:
Blackpoll Warbler: Found by Lance Cheslock and Rachael Couoh Sunday. Only the 4th San Luis Valley record. I saw it last night with photos. Scarlet Tanager: This is the bird (male) I found 9 days ago. It' s still present and was seen yesterday. Black Phoebe: Saw it this morning and could be the same one I saw in April. Lincoln's Sparrow: West side willow trees Western Tanagers: West side willow trees. Go to the south side of the lake and find the inlet to the lake. This spot has been the best area to begin your tanager and warbler search. The Black Phoebe is on the other side of the lake along the canal. Northern Waterthrush has been present off and on at Shriver Wright SWA in the bog on the south end. Be safe and get out when you can....
