COBirders,
With an overnight shift in the wind direction, a new batch of migrants finally arrived at Chico Basin Ranch this morning (fee area). At the Rose Pond in Pueblo County, I heard a high-pitched song I thought was either Cape May or Bay-breasted Warbler, I wasn't disappointed to find the song came from a flamed-out Blackburnian Warbler, mostly difficult to see near the top of a plains cottonwood. The name Blackburnian honors the 18th-century English botanist, Anna Blackburne. Other migrants in the Pueblo County part of Chico (the RMBO boys will tell about their banded birds) included: Black Tern - 12 or more at HQ Pond Forster's Tern - 1 at HQ Pond American Redstart - 1 (female type) at HQ Yellow-breasted Chat - 1 at Rose Pond Gray Catbird - lots Lincoln's Sparrow - lots Orchard Oriole - two pairs from HQ and Rose Red-headed Woodpecker - 1 in alfalfa field area Lots of Swainson's Thrushes Indigo Bunting - 1 female Rose-breasted Grosbeak - one singing male Migration is still in progress here. "It ain't over until its over."
