Greetings All
David Dowell and I had an excellent day of birding in Logan and Sedgwick
Counties.
We started at Tamarack Ranch SWA (Logan), birding both east and west of Hwy 385
We had some of the usual species in most unusual numbers
15 Bell's Vireos
30+ Northern Cardinals
15+ Red-bellied Woodp
After two attempts (one in the late morning and one in the early evening)
seven of us FINALLY were able to relocate the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher near
the community of Last Chance, Colorado.
The bird was seen west of Last Chance along Hwy 36 between Washington County
Roads B and B.5 at 6pm tonight
Hi cobirders. My son Bob took me out to Lower Latham. Arrived soon
after 10AM on Rod 48. The ranch meadow to the south was flooded over
a wide area to the south.
Highlights here were : WELD county
Black-necked Stilts about 10
AmerIcan Avocet 8
Wilson Snipe 1 feeding in the grass west cor
Lots of visitors enjoyed the influx of Yellow Warblers with us on this
Sunday before Memorial Day. They are still arriving, and they are starting
to dash around - boys chasing other boys off their territories, boys chasing
girls..Little balls of gold, flying through the air. And
insects..presumab
Around noon today I observed what I believe was a Red-eyed Vireo at Watson
Lake, on the southeast side of the lake, between the road and the river,
just south of the boardwalk going down to the riverside path. Scott Cobble
was with we. We both saw a vireo from below that was all white underneath
At noon today just north and east of the camping area. Found by Denise and
photographed by Dick.
