Yesterday I had a meeting at Colo State Univ at Pueblo so I got in 15 minutes of birding that produced a Plumbeous Vireo from a small piece of good habitat. After the meeting (and the rain storm) I did a little birding along the Arkansas River near Runyon Park where I found a probable Dusky Flycatcher and several Bewick's Wrens in addition to 2 Nashville Warblers, several Orange-crowned and a number of Yellow-rumps.
Before I left for Pueblo yesterday morning I birded a little near the McKenzie end of the Canon City Riverwalk where I first found a White-throated Sparrow then a Northern Waterthrush. Today I didn't get in much birding because it rained most of the day but did go out this evening after it finally quit (I got 1.25 inches at my house, that's about 10% of average annual moisture!). Near the Sell's Lake parking area for the Canon City Riverwalk I found another Northern Waterthrush, an Eastern Phoebe, a probable Dusky Flycatcher, a FOY male Blue Grosbeak and 4 Lincoln's Sparrows. I also saw 3 Wilson's, 6 Orange-crowned and about 15 Yellow-rumped Warblers and 3 Western Tanagers in that area in about an hour or so birding at 6 pm + . I got photos of the Northern Waterthrush and very close up photos of the Plumbeous Vireo and one of the Lincoln's Sparrows that I have uploaded to myBirds and Nature blog<http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/>. In the photo of the Plumbeous Vireo it is eating an insect that is likely identifiable.
