The two Spotted Sandpiper chicks along with their very protective parent continue at Florence River Park. Now that they are a little older the parent, who gives warning calls for them to stay hidden in heavy vegetation when it is concerned, has let the chicks come out into the open to practice their sandpiper skills along the river's edge which provided me the opportunity to get some good pics of both chicks and the parent that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog.
Tonight as I worked in my yard I heard then briefly saw 4 Chimney Swifts flying together. I have seen several Chimney Swifts off and on this summer over the downtown Canon City area and wonder if these may be a family unit. No photos, too quick and distant.
