Checked out one of my fav birding spots this afternoon - the east side of White Ranch Open Space just north of Golden. It was very very quiet. Maybe it's early, maybe it's a slow migration, I don't know, but there was very little bird activity. I did hear a couple of lazuli buntings, and saw

Todd Deininger and I set out early this morning to bird our way to Lamar. 14 hours later we arrived, so as you might expect the birding was pretty good and the weather, though hot and sunny was not overly windy making for good birding. Our first notable stop was in Kit Carson (Cheyenne County)
