We checked out Soapstone (28 sq miles) yesterday for first time-
fabulous and pristine landscape--a Colorado jewel. It is adjacent to
Red Mountain Open Space and WY's Big Hole Open Space. All are a part
of the larger Laramie Foothills-Mountains to Plains Project (http://
I happened to be there at Belmar Park/Kountze Lake later in the day,
about 4pm or so. I can confirm that avocets appear to be exhibiting
nesting behavior on the island. I saw one chasing a goose away from a
nest, which I thought was absolutely hilarious. I have a couple of
distant pictures of an

This morning Tracy Clark and I headed up Gregrory Canyon. The huge volume of
people drove us back to the car fairly early.
Around 8:15 am we heard a PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER. We listened to it nearly
continuously for 10 minutes. We saw it not and again, but it was evasive. In
Hello Again,
Please note that the ee sound in the first portion of the call note is
somewhere between ooo and eee where as the ee in the second parts sounds
very much like ee. This is true for both Pac Slope and Cordilleran and can
easily be heard on the link sent.

Sorry...
I left of the singing Veery, which was a quarter to half mile past where we
heard the Pacific-slope Fly. The Veery was singing around 7 am. There was also
a Cordilleran Flycatcher calling somewhere not far past the Pac Slope. The
Cordilleran was calling first thing in the morning

Doug Faulkner just called and asked me to post that while he has been looking
for the Yellow-crowned Night Heron an adult LITTLE BLUE HERON showed up on the
island. For more information on Glenmere Park and the surrounding area see

After conducting a survey for RMBO, I heard a singing bunting that
sounded a little different. I eventually got a visual and it was a
hybrid Lazuli x Indigo. The bird was at the waterfall with large
cottonwoods in Colorado National Monument on the No Thoroughfare Trail

After going out on an AVAS field trip yesterday, and Paul being the only one
to have a good look at the Hepatic Tanagner...we decided to go back to
Rouse Road this morning. We were rewarded with a good quick look at the
Hepatic Tanager! It took about 2 hours of searching...we tried playing the
Hello, explorers--
Due to some cancellations, I still have some room on fundraising (BC
Audubon) flammulated owl trip this coming Tues. evening. It involves a short
but partly steep hike, and we supply a full picnic at dusk. Wildflowers are
already lovely in this fairly wild little old canyon.
Sandy Arnesen and I headed south this morning to try to complete some
atlas blocks, We worked on Lamar West and Lamar East.
We found a couple Red-headed Woodpeckers in the Lamar West Block.
They probably are not in our priority bloxk.
Then we we moved over to scout Lamar East we were very

Hi all,
I wasn't able to make it out to see or record the possible Pacific-slope
Flycatcher today, but I may try tomorrow with my recording equipment if I
can find the time. Meanwhile, here are some pertinent pieces of information
about separating the two species by ear.
First, the geographic
At the Sandstone Ranch District Park in Longmont, a Cassin’s Sparrow has been
singing on territory, easily heard from the trailhead Parking Area (sometimes
perched on the wire fence just east of the parking lot). I saw and heard it
both Saturday and Sunday, June 11-12. The park is reached from
I haven’t posted for awhile, so thought I’d share the birds I’ve had
in my yard the past four weeks or so. I have not seen the birds in
the list following the Collared-Doves in several weeks now…but were
all here in May.
I have been wondering which bird makes a sort of ‘rattling’ sound and

Hi Everyone--
I spent last night 6/11 at the Bent's Fort Inn in Las Animas, and did an
early morning (as in 4am 6/12) listen at the corner of BCR HH and BCR 16. I
heard lots of noise, including two Virginia Rails, but no other rails. Back
at the hotel, I heard a Carolina Wren singing, and located
