north end of Sharp Point Drive (jct with Prospect) past the feedlot thru
Prospect Ponds Natural Area (PPNA) to an area perhaps 100 yards southeast of
the Northern CO Environmental Learning Center (NCELC) parking lot (that

The adult Arctic Tern was still present, foraging around the center of Timnath
Reservoir, at 8 pm this evening. It was noticeably smaller than the Forster's
Terns nearby. I scoped it from atop the dam just south of the parking area on
the west side .

As I was getting my second bowl of cereal this morning at our vacation home on
the west side of Estes Park, I glanced out the kitchen door at the back yard
area where we have our bird feeders. I saw a bright bird feeding on the
ground. Realizing it was something different, I grabbed my
I took my dog for a swim on the north end of the Boulder Reservoir
yesterday (Monday) and we heard a Willow Flycatcher singing in, well, the
willows, along with a Yellow Warbler. There were 4 Great Egrets snoozing on
the NW shore and Vesper Sparrows singing in the pastures.

No luck on the Chestnut-sided or Magnolia Warblers this morning. Though I was
only there for 45 minutes or so. Good movement of Western Tanagers. Had at
least a dozen. I had one Cordilleran Flycatcher that wouldn't shut up. It was
all Pit-peet and re-peet. Fairly certain he must have been
I have had W Tanagers, Male and female at my suet feeder for the last 14 days.
At first there was just one male and an occasional female but the last few days
there are both male and female all day long. The males are aggressive toward
others coming to feed but I have seen three males and two
I was fortunate, yesterday, to find the Common Poorwill perched in the open
at Denver Botanic Gardens in Denver. Usually, I only see this bird when it

Hi all
Over the weekend decided to drive the entire Lone Tree Creek drainage from
I25 near WY border down to Lone Tree Water Treatment Facility/Platte River
east of Greeley on Weld CR 51. Some great birds and a total of 80-85
species (multiple empids) total. From I25 to Antelope Reservoir
I visited quite a few spots in northeast Colorado, birding solo most of the
time and with Alec Hopping and Bill Kaempfer some of the time (thanks for
the good company and birding). Obviously, this year's spring migration
will be remembered for rain and flooding. Waders and willpower proved
I birded a relatively new State Wildlife Area...the Schriver-Wright SWA near
Home Lake SWA in Monte Vista. The cool thing about this place is it is open
year round, so one can bird, hike and enjoy the area during all seasons.
Not a bad list of birds either for that matter.
