[cobirds] Ovenbirds, Douglas County

This morning Theresa I had 3 singing Ovenbirds along the 5.5-mile Mountain Top Loop Trail at Spruce Mountain Open Space. I predicted we would find at least one, given the time of year that the habitat looked good, but I'm not sure this was previously a known breeding spot for the species. A

When going to Fleming this afternoon to pick up a puppy, I spent about 45 minutes at a ranch area with many cottonwood trees outside of town. Nothing out of the expected, but it was wonderful to see a loud pair of nesting Red Headed Woodpeckers, several very visible roosting Nighthawks (I
