[cobirds] Grossbeaks, Orioles, Hummers and Buntings - Huerfano County

Three species of Grosbeak continue to visit daily: at least three pairs of Rose-breasted (I've seen seven at once...a huge first for such numbers), nearly as many Black-headed are here too (odd, last year it was more Black-headed than Rose-breasted), and Evening Grosbeaks (in twos and threes)

[cobirds] Lucy's Warbler - Mesa County

Hi all, On my way home from RMBO training this morning, I found a Lucy's Warbler in Rabbit Valley. I originally heard a warbler singing that I didn't recognize (I am rusty on my warbler songs, so I cannot confirm whether it was a nearby Virginia's or the Lucy's) and saw a warbler fly from the

All the goodies that were found eariler in the day (male Black-throated Blue Warbler, male Magnolia Warbler, two Northern Waterthrush, and Veery), were all present all afternoon, into the evening at the Headquarters Willows and yard.  I was surprised to find a male Hooded Warbler here as well.

[cobirds] Crow Valley additions

In addition to the birds accurately detailed by Kathy Dunning in her report, Bayard and I saw an Ash-throated Flycatcher later in the morning in the NE corner in and around the farm machinery and fence line. It resisted all our efforts to turn it into a Brown-crested. The impact of the windy
